State capacity and health system financing
INTRODUCTION: Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) requires not only financial resources but also strong and capable states that can mobilise, allocate and effectively manage those resources. Although fiscal capacity is widely acknowledged as a key determinant of health systems financing, state capacity is a broader, multidimensional construct that encompasses the administrative, legal and coercive functions of the state. METHODS: This study…
Early-life exposure to political violence and domestic violence
Globally, one in three women experiences domestic violence over their lifetimes. Yet, the factors that shape adult behavior toward domestic violence remain poorly understood. We examine the effect of exposure to political violence in early stages of life on likelihood of domestic violence in marital life. Combining household level survey with political violence datasets from 1988 to 2018, our findings show that it is the exposure of men to politi…
The impact of official development assistance for health on health outcomes
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have received substantial amounts of Official Development Assistance for Health (DAH) to address domestic health funding gaps and improve access to universal healthcare. However, the effectiveness of DAH in improving health outcomes remains contested, with varying findings across studies due to differences in methodologies, data sources, and target populations. This systematic review synthesizes the existi…
The redistributive effect of the public health system
Universal health coverage (UHC), health equity and reduction of income inequalities are key objectives for the Sierra Leone government. While investing in health systems may drive economic growth, it is less clear whether investing in health systems reduces income inequality. Therefore, a crucial issue is to what extent the Sierra Leone public healthcare system reduces income inequality, and finances and provides healthcare services equitably. We…
Health aid displacement during a decade of conflict (2011–19) in Syria
This study highlights that in very complex conflict-affected contexts such as Syria, it is difficult to suggest the use of health aid displacement as an effective tool for aid-effectiveness for donors as it does not reflect domestic needs and priorities. Yet there seems to be evidence of slight displacement for individual donors. However, we can suggest that donors vastly prefer to focus their investment in the humanitarian sector rather than the…
The effect of natural disaster on fertility, birth spacing, and child sex ratio
Financial incentives in health
This paper studies the health effects of one of the world's largest demand-side financial incentive programmes--India's Janani Suraksha Yojana. Our difference-in-difference estimates exploit heterogeneity in the implementation of the financial incentive programme across districts. We find that cash incentives to women were associated with increased uptake of maternity services but there is no strong evidence that the JSY was associated with a red…
Out-of-pocket Expenditure on Health Care Among Elderly and Non-elderly Households in India
Ensuring Universal Coverage for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Services in India
Determinants of Inequality in Child Malnutrition in India
This paper aims to explore the linkage between poverty and inequality in malnutrition through decomposition analysis using data from the National Family Health Survey-3 (NFHS-3) conducted in 2005–2006. Association between inequality in malnutrition and income inequality and poverty is observed at the state level. Inequality is analysed using the concentration index, which is further decomposed to identify the factors associated with inequality in…
