Effect of supplementary private health insurance on out-of-pocket inpatient medical expenditure
The vital role of healthcare financing in achieving universal health coverage is indisputable. However, most countries, including Malaysia, face challenges in establishing an equitable and sustainable healthcare financing system due to escalating healthcare costs, an ageing population and a growing disease burden. With desirable pre-payment and risk pooling features, private health insurance (PHI) is considered an alternative financing option to …
Health poverty among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Malaysia
In the context of the escalating burden of diabetes in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is a pressing concern about the widening disparities in care and outcomes across socioeconomic groups. This paper estimates health poverty measures among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Malaysia. Using data from the National Diabetes Registry between 2009 and 2018, the study linked 932,855 people with T2DM aged 40-75 to death …
Dengue Seroprevalence and Factors Associated with Dengue Seropositivity in Petaling District, Malaysia
Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a major public health concern, posing huge economic and disease burdens globally. In Malaysia, the incidence of DENV infections has increased significantly over the years. Nevertheless, the passive surveillance mechanism applied may not capture the actual magnitude of DENV infection. There was also a paucity of community-based studies exploring DENV seroprevalence. This study aimed to determine the DENV seropreval…
Chronic respiratory disease surveys in adults in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) contribute significantly towards the global burden of disease, but the true prevalence and burden of these conditions in adults is unknown in the majority of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to identify strategies - in particular the definitions, study designs, sampling frames, instruments, and outcomes - used to conduct prevalence surveys for CRDs in LMICs. The findings will infor…
The Effects of HIV-Related Stigma on HIV Counselling and Testing in Nigeria
Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) counselling and testing (HCT) plays a major role in the continuum of HIV programmes in Nigeria. However, HIV-related stigma (STGM) poses a serious threat to its success. Consequently, a cross-sectional study was carried out to examine whether STGM mediates the relationships between the explanatory variables (HIV-related knowledge, HIV transmission misconception (MSHIV), and perceived seriousness of HIV/acquire…
Establishment of a hospital-based health care workers surveillance programme to keep them safe during the Covid-19 pandemic
evere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmissible virus, making hospitals potential loci for outbreaks and placing health care workers (HCWs) at risk of acquiring the infection. The high demand for hospital care and the associated morbidity and mortality in the early phases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted the urgent need to protect the safety and health of HCWs. With over 15.…
Assessing the willingness to pay for HIV counselling and testing service
HIV/AIDS is a major health issue faced by the world, generally, but particularly sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria ranked third in the world by number of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2019. Despite prominent HIV counselling and testing (HCT) intervention programmes, Nigeria faces serious challenges, such as inadequate funding and low utilisation rates. Paucity of research into such a critical topic has restricted the capacity of policy makers to addre…
Thresholds for decision-making
Cost-effectiveness thresholds (CETs) based on the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (CMH) are extensively used in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lacking locally defined CETs. These thresholds were originally intended for global and regional prioritization, and do not reflect local context or affordability at the national level, so their value for informing resource allocation decisions has been questioned. Using these thresholds, …
Counting Ethnicity in Malaysia
This is a lightly edited version of the paper ‘Counting ethnicity in Malaysia: The complexity of measuring diversity’ published in the Malaysian Journal of Economic Studies , 46 (2), pp. 5–32, and reproduced here with permission of the publisher. The journal paper is a revised version of the conference paper ‘Counting and integration: the experience of Malaysia’ presented at the International Conference on Social Statistics and Ethnic Diversity: …

Catastrophic payments for health care in Asia
Out‐of‐pocket (OOP) payments are the principal means of financing health care throughout much of Asia. We estimate the magnitude and distribution of OOP payments for health care in fourteen countries and territories accounting for 81% of the Asian population. We focus on payments that are catastrophic, in the sense of severely disrupting household living standards, and approximate such payments by those absorbing a large fraction of household res…
The Incidence of Public Spending on Healthcare
The article compares the incidence of public healthcare across 11 Asian countries and provinces, testing the dominance of healthcare concentration curves against an equal distribution and Lorenz curves and across countries. The analysis reveals that the distribution of public healthcare is prorich in most developing countries. That distribution is avoidable, but a propoor incidence is easier to realize at higher national incomes. The experiences …
