Extended cost-effectiveness analysis of interventions to improve uptake of diabetes services in South Africa
The rising prevalence of diabetes in South Africa (SA), coupled with significant levels of unmet need for diagnosis and treatment, results in high rates of diabetes-associated complications. Income status is a determinant of utilization of diagnosis and treatment services, with transport costs and loss of wages being key barriers to care. A conditional cash transfer (CCT) programme, targeted to compensate for such costs, may improve service utili…
Response to a commentary by Barr (2022) on Edoka and Stacey (2020) estimating a cost-effectiveness threshold for healthcare decision-making in South Africa
Methodological issues pose significant challenges to estimating marginal cost per unit of health. In this commentary, we revisit these challenges and respond to a recent commentary on the validity of previously estimated marginal cost per unit of health in South Africa
Estimating a cost-effectiveness threshold for health care decision-making in South Africa
Cost-effectiveness thresholds are important decision rules that determine whether health interventions represent good value for money. In low- and middle-income countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) one to three times per capita gross domestic product (GDP) per disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted has been the most widely used threshold for informing resource allocation decisions. However, in 2016, the WHO withdrew recommendati…
Sugar-based beverage taxes and beverage prices
Strengthening expertise for health technology assessment and priority-setting in Africa
BACKGROUND: Achieving sustainable universal health coverage depends partly on fair priority-setting processes that ensure countries spend scarce resources wisely. While general health economics capacity-strengthening initiatives exist in Africa, less attention has been paid to developing the capacity of individuals, institutions and networks to apply economic evaluation in support of health technology assessment and effective priority-setting. OB…
Changes in catastrophic health expenditure in post-conflict Sierra Leone
The findings support the need to continue expanding current demand-side policies in Sierra Leone to reduce the financial risk of exposure to ill health
Impact of health financing policies in Cambodia
Improving financial access to services is an essential part of extending universal health coverage in low resource settings. In Cambodia, high out of pocket spending and low levels of utilisation have impeded the expansion of coverage and improvement in health outcomes. For twenty years a series of health financing policies have focused on mitigating costs to increase access particularly by vulnerable groups. Demand side financing policies includ…
