  • Evaluating urban–rural access to pathology and laboratory medicine services in Tanzania

    Open AccessHari S Iyer, Nicholas Wolf et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Placement of pathology and laboratory medicine (PALM) services requires balancing efficiency (maximizing test volume) with equitable urban–rural access. We compared the association between population density (proxy for efficiency) and travel time to the closest facility (proxy for equitable access) across levels of Tanzania’s public sector health system. We linked geospatial data for Tanzania from multiple sources. Data on facility locations and …

  • Geospatial evaluation of trade-offs between equity in physical access to healthcare and health systems efficiency

    Open AccessHari S Iyer, John Flanigan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Decisions regarding the geographical placement of healthcare services require consideration of trade-offs between equity and efficiency, but few empirical assessments are available. We applied a novel geospatial framework to study these trade-offs in four African countries. METHODS: Geolocation data on population density (a surrogate for efficiency), health centres and cancer referral centres in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and Rwanda we…

  • Improving district facility readiness

    Open AccessHari S Iyer, Emmanuel Kamanzi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: While health systems strengthening (HSS) interventions are recommended by global health policy experts to improve population health in resource-limited settings, few examples exist of evaluations of HSS interventions conducted at the district level. In 2009, a partnership between Partners In Health (PIH), a non-governmental organization, and the Rwandan Ministry of Health (RMOH) was provided funds to implement and evaluate a district-…

  • Toward utilization of data for program management and evaluation

    Open AccessMarie Paul Nisingizwe, Hari S Iyer et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Health data can be useful for effective service delivery, decision making, and evaluating existing programs in order to maintain high quality of healthcare. Studies have shown variability in data quality from national health management information systems (HMISs) in sub-Saharan Africa which threatens utility of these data as a tool to improve health systems. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of Rwanda's HMIS data over…

  • Retention in care, resource utilization, and costs for adults receiving antiretroviral therapy in Zambia

    Open AccessCallie A Scott, Hari S Iyer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Patients initiate ART late in the course of disease progression and a large proportion drop out of care after initiation. The quantity of resources utilized and costs vary widely by site, and patients utilize a different mix of resources under routine clinical conditions than if they were receiving fully guideline-concordant care. Improving retention in care and guideline concordance, including increasing the use of tenofovir in first-line ART re…
