A systems-change approach to addressing the mortality surveillance gap in Pakistan
With a lack of cause of death estimation and an inadequate and fragmented Civil Registration and Vital Statistics system, Pakistan faces a significant gap in data on mortality. This poses significant challenges for health policy planning and monitoring. In this viewpoint, we draw on systems-change frameworks to examine and provide recommendations to improve mortality surveillance in Pakistan. We use the multiple cause diagram framework to underst…

Doctors taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies is common and not substantially reduced by an educational intervention
INTRODUCTION: Incentive-linked prescribing, which is when healthcare providers accept incentives from pharmaceutical companies for prescribing promoted medicines, is a form of bribery that harms patients and health systems globally. We developed a novel method using data collectors posing as pharmaceutical company sales representatives to evaluate private doctors' engagement in incentive-linked prescribing and the impact of a multifaceted educati…
Country readiness and prerequisites for successful design and transition to implementation of essential packages of health services
This paper reviews the experience of six low-income and lower middle-income countries in setting their own essential packages of health services (EPHS), with the purpose of identifying the key requirements for the successful design and transition to implementation of the packages in the context of accelerating progress towards universal health coverage (UHC). The analysis is based on input from three meetings of a knowledge network established by…
The role of the private sector in delivering essential packages of health services
Many countries are adopting essential packages of health services (EPHS) to implement universal health coverage (UHC), which are mostly financed and delivered by the public sector, while the potential role of the private health sector (PHS) remains untapped. Currently, many low-income and lower middle-income countries (LLMICs) have devised EPHS; however, guidance on translating these packages into quality, accessible and affordable services is li…
Incentivisation practices and their influence on physicians’ prescriptions
Focus on profit-generating enterprise in healthcare can create conflicts of interest that adversely impact prescribing and pricing of medicines. Although a global challenge, addressing the impacts on quality of care is particularly difficult in countries where the pharmaceutical industry and physician lobby is strong relative to regulatory institutions. Our study characterises the range of incentives exchanged between the pharmaceutical industry …

Authored by international experts across five continents, this book demonstrates how health sys…

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). TB multimorbidity [TB and ≥1 non-communicable diseases (NCDs)] is common, but studies are sparse. Cross-sectional, community-based data including adults from 21 low-income countries and 27 middle-income countries were utilized from the World Health Survey.

Implementation of health and health-related sustainable development goals
Global strategies and local implementation of health and health-related SDGs
Evidence on early achievements, challenges and opportunities would help low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) accelerate implementation of health and health-related sustainable development goals (HHSDGs). A series of country-specific and multicountry consultative meetings were conducted during 2018–2019 that involved 15 countries across five regions to determine the status of implementation of HHSDGs. Almost 120 representatives from heal…
