Improving the response to future pandemics requires an improved understanding of the role played by institutions, politics, organization, and governance
How have researchers defined institutions, politics, organizations and governance in research related to epidemic and pandemic response? A scoping review to map current concepts
In recent years, the literature on public health interventions and health outcomes in the context of epidemic and pandemic response has grown immensely. However, relatively few of these studies have situated their findings within the institutional, political, organizational and governmental (IPOG) context in which interventions and outcomes exist. This conceptual mapping scoping study synthesized the published literature on the impact of IPOG fac…
The role of health system context in the design and implementation of performance-based financing
Low quality of care is a significant problem for health systems in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Policymakers are increasingly interested in using performance-based financing (PBF), a system-wide provider payment reform, conditioned on both quantity and quality of performance, to improve quality of care. The health system context influences both the design and the implementation of these programmes and thus their effectiveness. …
Benefit incidence analysis in public health facilities in India
This BIA reveals that government spending on public health care has not resulted in significantly pro-poor services. While some progress has been made relative to deliveries and outpatient services, inpatient stays are not pro-poor. In addition, national results mask significant disparities across Indian states
New Evidence on the Impact of Large-scale Conditional Cash Transfers on Child Vaccination Rates
Countdown to 2015
Countdown to 2015 country case studies
Increases in health and RMNCH funding accompanied improvements in outcomes, though low-income countries are still very reliant on external financing, and out-of-pocket comprising a growing share of funds in middle-income settings. Enhancements in tracking RMNCH expenditures across countries are still needed to better understand whether domestic and global health financing initiatives lead to improved outcomes as RMNCH continues to be a priority u…
Countries’ progress for women’s and children’s health in the Millennium Development Goal era
Countdown to 2015 for Maternal, Newborn and Child Survival (Countdown) began in 2003, monitoring and analysing country progress towards achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 (reduce child mortality) and 5 (improve maternal health), responding to The Lancet Child Survival Series For 12 years Countdown synthesised data on coverage and its key determinants across the continuum of care for women's and children's health, and regularly dissem…
Countdown to 2015 country case studies
These Countdown case studies underline the importance of consistent national investment and global attention for achieving improvements in RMNCH. Interventions with major global investments achieved higher levels of coverage, reduced equity gaps and improvements in associated health outcomes. Given many competing priorities for the Sustainable Development Goals era, it is essential to maintain attention to the unfinished RMNCH agenda, particularl…
Ethiopia’s health extension workers use of work time on duty
Ethiopia implemented an innovative community-based health program, called the health extension program, to enhance access to basic health promotion, disease prevention and selected curative services by establishing health posts in every village, also called kebeles, with average of 5000 people, staffed with two health extension workers (HEWs). This time and motion study was done to estimate the amount of time that HEWs spend on various work dutie…

The role of private providers in maternal and child health and family planning services in developing countries
This paper uses data from the Demographic and Health Surveys program (DHS) in 11 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to explore the contribution of private health care providers to population coverage with a variety of maternal and child health and family planning services. The choice of countries and services assessed was mainly determined by the availability of data in the different surveys. Private providers contribute significantly t…

The composition of the hospital sector has important implications for cost effectiveness accessibility and coverage. The classification of acute general hospitals is reviewed here with particular reference to India and Andhra Pradesh. Approaches to arrive at a norm for allocation of hospital expenditure among secondary and tertiary hospitals are discussed. The actual allocation of public sector hospital expenditures is analyzed with data from And…

Treatment use and expenditure on curative care in rural Indonesia
Rural Indonesians face a diverse and complex marketplace in which they can seek treatment for perceived illness. This includes a wide range of informal, traditional and licensed allopathic public and private providers. This paper describes the richness of household care-seeking behaviour in terms of utilization of different treatment alternatives and household spending on curative care. Better understanding of these patterns is an important prere…

George Washington University Volunteer Hotline, a Descriptive Study
Telephone calls from Rap Id Rescue, a volunteer hotline, were consolidated into 4 major categories and analyzed. The results indicate the distribution of calls in each category for each month, the time of day the calls were received, and the day of the week the calls were made. A comparison between the number of Rap Id Rescue calls per month and the number of new clients coming into the Counseling Center each month was made in order to discover t…
