Implementing innovative financing mechanisms in global health – perspectives of stakeholders from global health organisations
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical shifts have strained traditional funding for global health, increasing the interest in innovative financing mechanisms. We explore how international organisations perceive and implement these mechanisms as complements to traditional funding. Methods: In this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with eleven senior experts from major global health organisations, gathere…
The decline of informal payments for healthcare in Romania
Informal payments have long been embedded in the Romanian healthcare system. However, Eurostat data indicate a sharp decline in reported informal payments, from 28% in 2013 to 9% in 2023, with a ten-percentage-point drop in 2023 alone. This paper examines the factors behind this change from the perspective of healthcare users. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 27 patients from various regions of Romania and using the constructivist grounded the…
Self-care and health seeking for diabetes and hypertension in Cambodia
Cambodia is experiencing a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as it undergoes an epidemiological transition. This qualitative study investigates the health-seeking behaviors of Cambodians in the context of hypertension and diabetes, focusing on the utilization of both formal healthcare and alternative medical practices. Data are from 20 in-depth interviews with participants without social health protection and 6 focus groups (n = …
Temporal typifications as an organizational resource
The connection between time and power has been studied extensively. A common strategy through which street-level bureaucrats exert power and dominance over their clients consists of imposing protracted waiting and maintaining uncertainty regarding the outcomes of waiting. In this study, I argue that another facet of power in organizations is related to the temporal typification of cases. By exploring the triage work in two emergency departments (…
Credibility work and moral evaluation at the ED
Reasonableness
Most studies on gatekeeping at the emergency department (ED) have emphasised the assessment of clients in terms of perceived legitimacy and deservingness, showing that lay considerations lead to exclusionary practices, and the ED contributes to the social reproduction of inequality. Some recent works have challenged this representation, providing compelling evidence of staff's concern for the access to care of the most vulnerable users. I extend …
Accomplishing public secrecy
This paper contributes to scholarship on the mobilization of personal connections for securing preferential treatment and other privileges by examining the informal referral of patients at the triage of two emergency departments in Romania. The study focuses on the practical accomplishment of the practice, and argues that the success of informal referrals is contingent upon the social distance between the referrer and the triage worker, and the a…
