  • Lessons from the development process of the Afghanistan integrated package of essential health services

    Open AccessSayed Ataullah Saeedzai, Karl Blanchet et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    In 2017, in the middle of the armed conflict with the Taliban, the Ministry of Public Health decided that the Afghan health system needed a well-defined priority package of health services taking into account the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries and benefiting from the latest evidence published by DCP3. This leads to a 2-year process involving data analysis, modelling and national consultations, which produce this Integ…

  • Building implementable packages for universal health coverage

    Open AccessTeri Reynolds, Thomas Wilkinson et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Since no country or health system can provide every possible health service to everyone who might benefit, the prioritisation of a defined subset of services for universal availability is intrinsic to universal health coverage (UHC). Creating a package of priority services for UHC, however, does not in itself benefit a population—packages have impact only through implementation. There are inherent tensions between the way services are formulated …

  • The development of Afghanistan's Integrated Package of Essential Health Services

    Open AccessIsabelle L Lange, Ferozuddin Feroz et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2022References: 24

    Health systems in fragile states need to respond to shifting demographics, burden of disease and socio-economic circumstances in the revision of their health service packages. This entails making difficult decisions about what is and is not included therein, especially in resource-constrained settings offering or striving for universal health coverage. In this paper we turn the lens on the 2017-2021 development of Afghanistan's Integrated Package…

  • Protecting essential health services in low-income and middle-income countries and humanitarian settings while responding to the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessKarl Blanchet, Ala Alwan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    In health outcomes terms, the poorest countries stand to lose the most from these disruptions. In this paper, we make the case for a rational approach to public sector health spending and decision making during and in the early recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on ethics and equity principles, it is crucial to ensure that patients not infected by COVID-19 continue to get access to healthcare and that the services they need continue t…

  • Afghanistan's Basic Package of Health Services

    Open AccessWilliam Newbrander, Paul Ickx et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2014

    In 2001, Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Health inherited a devastated health system and some of the worst health statistics in the world. The health system was rebuilt based on the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS). This paper examines why the BPHS was needed, how it was developed, its content and the changes resulting from the rebuilding. The methods used for assessing change were to review health outcome and health system indicator chan…
