Primary prevention in hospitals in 20 high-income countries in Europe – A case of not “Making Every Contact Count”
Health care coverage and access for displaced persons from Ukraine
A comparison of social prescribing approaches across twelve high-income countries
BACKGROUND: Social prescribing connects patients with community resources to improve their health and well-being. It is gaining momentum globally due to its potential for addressing non-medical causes of illness while building on existing resources and enhancing overall health at a relatively low cost. The COVID-19 pandemic further underscored the need for policy interventions to address health-related social issues such as loneliness and isolati…
Challenges facing mental health systems arising from the Covid-19 pandemic
We assessed challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented for mental health systems and the responses to these challenges in 14 countries in Europe and North America. Experts from each country filled out a structured questionnaire with closed- and open-ended questions between January and June 2021. We conducted thematic analysis to investigate the qualitative responses to open-ended questions, and we summarized the responses to closed-ended sur…
Early health system responses to the Covid-19 pandemic in Mediterranean countries
The 2019 Health Basic Law in Portugal
Preventing HIV under financial constraints
The national HIV/AIDS Programme has been a core health programme in Portugal, and has led the country's response to the HIV epidemics since the 1980s. In 2011, the Portuguese Government reorganised central services and reformed all vertical programmes, including the HIV/AIDS Programme. This paper describes the main features of that reform and analyses selected outcomes, as well as how those financial constraints affected the response to HIV/AIDS.…
Mapping variability in allocation of Long-Term Care funds across payer agencies in OECD countries
INTRODUCTION: Long-term care (LTC) is organized in a fragmented manner. Payer agencies (PA) receive LTC funds from the agency collecting funds, and commission services. Yet, distributional equity (DE) across PAs, a precondition to geographical equity of access to LTC, has received limited attention. We conceptualize that LTC systems promote DE when they are designed to set eligibility criteria nationally (vs. locally); and to distribute funds amo…
Estimating risk factors for HIV infection among women in Mozambique using population-based survey data
The use of population-based survey data together with sound statistical methods can enhance better estimation of HIV risk factors and explain variations across subgroups of the population. The distribution and determinants of HIV infection in populations must be taken into consideration. We analysed data from the HIV Prevalence and Behaviour Survey in Mozambique aiming to find risk factors associated with HIV infection among Mozambican women. The…
Unmatched Case-Control Study on Late Presentation of HIV Infection in Santiago, Cape Verde (2004–2011)
Access to free antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Sub-Saharan Africa has been steadily increasing over the past decade. However, the success of large-scale ART programmes depends on timely diagnosis and early initiation of HIV care. This study characterizes late presenters to HIV care in Santiago (Cape Verde) between 2004 and 2011, and identifies factors associated with late presentation for care. We defined late presentation as persons presenting t…
