Human resource challenges in health systems
Sub-Saharan Africa has fewer medical workers per capita than any region of the world, and that shortage has been highlighted consistently as a critical constraint to improving health outcomes in the region. This paper draws on newly available, systematic, comparable data from 10 countries in the region to explore the dimensions of this shortage. We find wide variation in human resources performance metrics, both within and across countries. Many …
Analysis of clinical knowledge, absenteeism and availability of resources for maternal and child health
OBJECTIVE: Assess the quality of healthcare across African countries based on health providers' clinical knowledge, their clinic attendance and drug availability, with a focus on seven conditions accounting for a large share of child and maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa: malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhoea, pneumonia, diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and postpartum haemorrhage. METHODS: With nationally representative, cross-sectional data from te…
Realizing the right to health in Brazil’s Unified Health System through the lens of breast and cervical cancer
The study reveals that there are large variations between states and patients, where the poorest states and patients fare worse on key indicators. More broadly, the paper shows the importance of collecting data both on patient characteristics and health system performance and carry out detailed health system analysis for exposing, empirically, rights violations and for identifying how they can be addressed
Community health centers and primary care access and quality for chronically-ill patients – a case-comparison study of urban Guangdong Province, China
The study suggested that the Dongguan model (based on insurance mandate and using family practice physicians as 'gate-keepers') seemed to work best in terms of improving access and quality for patients with chronic conditions. The study suggested adequately funded and well-organized primary care system can play a gatekeeping role and has the potential to provide a reasonable level of care to patients
Integrated care delivery and health care seeking by chronically-ill patients – a case-control study of rural Henan province, China
The study showed that the Integrated Care Delivery Model was critical in guiding patients' health care seeking behavior and associated with improved accessibility, continuity, coordination and comprehensiveness of care, as well as reducing health inequities and mitigating disparities for older patients with chronic conditions
Coping with uncertainty during healthcare-seeking in Lao PDR
BACKGROUND: Uncertainty is regarded as a central dimension in the experience of illness and in the processes of alleviating it. Few studies from resource-poor settings have investigated this and how it interacts with other factors. This study aims to shed light on how healthcare-seeking develops in the context of multiple medical alternatives and to understand what bearing uncertainty has on this process. METHODS: The study was conducted in six p…
Changes in pregnancy and childbirth practices in remote areas in Lao PDR within two generations of women
This paper sheds light on the inter-generational changes in pregnancy and childbirth practices in remote areas of Lao PDR over a period of 30 years. The study consisted of focus group discussions with pregnant women aged 14-30, mothers and fathers of small children, and older women aged 40+ in six rural communities in two districts. Childbirth practices were gradually evolving and changing - most dramatically illustrated by the transition from fo…
Building on community outreach for childhood vaccination to deliver maternal and child health services in Laos
Outreach services for vaccination present a useful vehicle to deliver maternal and child health (MCH) care to hard-to-reach women and children. In Laos, uptake of MCH services inversely correlates with distance from a health facility; hence, the concurrent delivery of MCH services during community vaccination outreach has been promoted. Here we assess factors affecting delivery of MCH services during vaccination outreach in six districts of three…
Extending health insurance to the rural population
Can insurance increase financial risk?
We analyze the effect of insurance on the probability of an individual incurring 'high' annual health expenses using data from three household surveys. All come from China, a country where providers are paid fee-for-service according to a schedule that encourages the overprovision of high-tech care and who are only lightly regulated. We define annual spending as 'high' if it exceeds a threshold of local average income and as 'catastrophic' if it …
Health service delivery in China
We report the results of a review of the Chinese‐ and English‐language literatures on service delivery in China, asking how well China's health‐care providers perform and what determines their performance. Although data and methodological limitations suggest caution in drawing conclusions, a critical reading of the available evidence suggests that current health service delivery in China leaves room for improvement, in terms of quality, responsiv…
Health as a Family Matter
This paper is concerned with the role of education as a determinant of health care choices. The central premise of the paper is that utilisation of health services is determined not solely by an individual's own education, but rather by a notion of effective education, which incorporates the educational attainment of other household members. The paper sets out a general framework for representing intra-household education externalities, and propo…
Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data
This book shows how to implement a variety of analytic tools that allow health equity - along different dimensions and in different spheres - to be quantified. Questions that the techniques can help provide answers for include the following: Have gaps in health outcomes between the poor and the better-off grown in specific countries or in the developing world as a whole? Are they larger in one country than in another? Are health sector subsidies …
For public service or money
Geographical imbalances in the health workforce have been a consistent feature of nearly all health systems, and especially in developing countries. In this paper we investigate the willingness to work in a rural area among final year nursing and medical students in Ethiopia. Analysing data obtained from contingent valuation questions for final year students from three medical schools and eight nursing schools, we find that there is substantial h…
