The normalisation of under-resourcing limits the potential for improvement of critical care
The reduced availability of materials, staff, and health infrastructure commonly seen in Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) settings is known to directly limit the ability of a hospital to provide effective care to critically ill patients. We use Health Facility Assessments (HFAs), 'hospital journeys', and in-depth interviews across five secondary and tertiary referral-level government hospitals in Kenya to explore their readiness to provide E…
Agent-Based Modeling as an Evaluation Tool to Understand the Mechanisms of a Financial Incentives Scheme for Maternal and Child Health in Tanzania
Agent-based models (ABMs) offer a robust mechanism for modeling dynamic health systems and their responses to reforms, capturing vital feedback loops between agents, and incorporating agent heterogeneities.We constructed an ABM to investigate the effects of a supply-side payment-for-performance (P4P) scheme for childbirth care in Tanzania, specifically focusing on its impact on demand-side behaviours.Three classes of agents were included in the m…
Covid-19 and unintended steps towards further equity in global health research
There was, and possibly still is, potential for COVID-19 to disrupt power inequities and contribute to positive transformation in global health research that increases equity. While there is consensus about the need to decolonise by transforming global health, and a roadmap outlining how we could approach it, there are few examples of steps that could be taken to transform the mechanics of global health research. This paper contributes lessons le…
Receive, Sustain, and Flow
Background: Hospital patients can become critically ill anywhere in a hospital but their survival is affected by problems of identification and adequate, timely, treatment. This is issue of particular concern in lower middle-income countries' (LMICs) hospitals where specialised units are scarce and severely under-resourced. "Cross-sectional" approaches to improving narrow, specific aspects of care will not attend to issues that affect patients' c…
Developing the improved Community Health Fund in Tanzania
Tanzania developed its 2016–26 health financing strategy to address existing inequities and inefficiencies in its health financing architecture. The strategy suggested the introduction of mandatory national health insurance, which requires long-term legal, interministerial and parliamentary procedures. In 2017/18, improved Community Health Fund (iCHF) was introduced to make short-term improvements in coverage and financial risk protection for the…
