The Effect of an Innovative Financing and Payment Model for Tuberculosis Patients on Health Service Utilization in China: Evidence from Hubei Province of China
Background : Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major social and public health problem in China. The "China-Gates TB Project" started in 2012, and one of its objectives was to reduce the financial burden on TB patients and to improve access to quality TB care. The aims of this study were to determine if the project had positive impacts on improving health service utilization. Methods : The 'China-Gates TB Project' was launched in Yichang City (YC), Hube…
Distance- and blended-learning in global health research: Potentials and challenges
This paper is part of the Special Issue: Capacity building in global health research: is blended learning the answer
The effect of NCMS on catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment from tuberculosis care in China
The NCMS has partial effect on protecting households from CHE and impoverishment from TB care. The limited protection could be enhanced by redesigning benefit coverage to improve the "height" of the NCMS and representing fee-for-service with alternative payment mechanisms
New technology and illness self-management: Potential relevance for resource-poor populations in Asia
Advances in technology have made it possible for many standard diagnostic and health monitoring procedures, traditionally carried out by qualified personnel within medical facilities, to be reliably undertaken by patients or carers in their own homes with a minimum of basic training. There has also been a dramatic increase in the number and diversity of both sources of information on health issues and the possibilities for sharing information and…
Accelerating learning for pro-poor health markets
BACKGROUND: Given the rapid evolution of health markets, learning is key to promoting the identification and uptake of health market policies and practices that better serve the needs of the poor. However there are significant challenges to learning about health markets. We discuss the different forms that learning takes, from the development of codified scientific knowledge, through to experience-based learning, all in relationship to health mar…
Introduction: Real Time Monitoring for the Most Vulnerable - Investing in Common Guidance for Equity and Quality
Growth in the use of real-time digital information for monitoring has been rapid in developing countries across all the social sectors, and in the health sector has been remarkable. Commonly these Real Time Monitoring (RTM) initiatives involve partnerships between the state, civil society, donors and the private sector. There are differences between partners in understanding objectives, and further divergence often occurs due to adoption of speci…
Real Time Monitoring and the New Information Technologies 1
Debates as to the potential role of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in monitoring the wellbeing of vulnerable groups is often bedevilled by the failure of two principal actors – social researchers and technical experts – to address the other's concerns or even to use language that is comprehensible to the other side. The aim here is to unpick some of the technical language relevant in this context and provide a brief introdu…
The RIM Initiative in Vietnam: ‘Prioritise Rapid Results rather than Publishable Results’
The 2009 Rapid Impact Monitoring (RIM) initiative in Vietnam was one of a number of studies undertaken in East Asia and Pacific countries to assess the initial poverty and social impacts of the global economic crisis. In Vietnam, the exercise was undertaken by the Centre for Analysis and Forecasting (CAF) of the Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences (VASS). A favourable response to the findings led to additional RIM exercises in 2010 and 2011. It…
Real Time Monitoring for the Most Vulnerable: Concepts and Methods
In assessing the value of different approaches to real?time monitoring for the most vulnerable, an initial requirement is to set out a conceptual framework that provides at least some degree of clarity as to what precisely is meant by ‘real time’, ‘monitoring’ and ‘vulnerable’– all terms that can be highly context?specific. That is the first task addressed here. The second is to consider potential sources of data that might be used to undertake r…
Exploring new health markets: Experiences from informal providers of transport for maternal health services in Eastern Uganda
BACKGROUND: Although a number of intermediate transport initiatives have been used in some developing countries, available evidence reveals a dearth of local knowledge on the effect of these rural informal transport mechanisms on access to maternal health care services, the cost of implementing such schemes and their scalability. This paper, attempts to provide insights into the functioning of the informal transport markets in facilitating access…
Associations between living arrangements and health-related quality of life of urban elderly people: A study from China
Evaluation: Why, for Whom and How
The overall objective of this article is to discuss current theoretical debates in the evaluation literature to assess their relevance for agriculture. After noting the 'bad press' of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in agriculture, the literature is selectively reviewed to see what light is shed from different evaluation paradigms and methodologies. Experiences in the health sector are then examined in greater depth, emphasising debates around ra…
Changes in utilization of health services among poor and rural residents in Uganda: Are reforms benefitting the poor
Although overall utilization of public and PNFP services by rural and poor populations had increased, PFP remained the major source of care. The odds of not seeking care due to distance decreased in rural areas but cost continued to be an important barrier to seeking health services for residents from poor, rural, and elderly headed households. Policy makers should consider targeting subsidies to the poor and rural populations. Public private par…

The Global Impact of the Internet: Widening the Economic Gap Between Wealthy and Poor Nations
Does the Internet have the potential to accelerate development in poor nations? Or is it an innovation that will widen the gap between wealthy and poor countries? This paper places the Internet in a framework of major innovations in modern economic history that have contributed to increased global economic inequality. To study whether the Internet has the potential to do the same, we investigate the determinants of Internet diffusion and explore …
What Do You Mean, ‘Social Policy Analysis’? Reflections on Concepts and Methodology
Summaries This article explores some of the methods used by donor agencies to undertake ‘social analysis’. The intention is to consider those activities which appear to come under this heading and the related materials and methods that are adopted for measurement and analysis. The article is concerned with both presentation and substance, attempting to assess both the stated concerns and related prescribed procedures of donors and the extent to w…
Introduction: Accountability through Participation: Developing Workable Partnership Models in the Health Sector
In recent years, and at least partly in response to an emerging crisis in health care provision in many countries, there has been a major shift in attitudes to community involvement. Approaches that saw communities primarily as passive recipients of health care have given way to those which seek to make more of the potential that more active community participation might offer for enhanced accountability and improved responsiveness of Services. W…
New Information Technology - Old Information Habits
Recently, ‘information’ has been viewed as an essential requirement for effective and efficient management, and as a basis for medium and long term planning. The establishment of ‘information systems’ and the introduction of ‘the new information technologies’ have been presented as solutions to problems of unavailability of adequate data on key areas of policy concern in many countries. Attempts to increase the usefulness of information systems r…
