Setting a Path for Improved Health Outcomes RBFRBFHealth
Learning is a critical part of the HRITF RBF portfolio, with all programs benefiting from an embedded impact evaluation and in some cases, complemented by qualitative research components such as process evaluation studies. The presentation discusses the following topics:
1. Using RBF at the community-level to address demand side barriers
This presentation elaborates on the early evidence and the rationale for using RBF at the community level. It will share lessons learned from the implementation of community RBF at country level.
2. Using RBF to Strengthen Quality of Care: Early Lessons
This presentation discusses the broader policy implications of using RBF to strengthen the quality of care. It will explore how Measuring and Paying for the Quality of Care has been operationalized and will highlight the experience of Nigeria. Lastly, it will focus on measuring and Analyzing the Quality of Care from the Impact Evaluation perspective.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of RBF in Zimbabwe and ZambiaRBFHealth
Profs. Shepard and Zeng have been leading projects for the Bank to develop methods for performing a cost-effectiveness analysis of Results-Based Financing (RBF) programs and applying them to maternal-child health (MCH) services in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Both countries’ RBF programs proved highly cost-effective. Methods and results should be informative to other RBF and MCH programs.
Evaluation of the Rwanda Community Performance-Based Financing ProgramRBFHealth
This study evaluates the impact of two interventions introduced as part of the Rwanda Community Performance-Based Financing Program to increase coverage of targeted maternal and child health services: rewards to cooperatives of community health workers and demand-side conditional in-kind transfers. The evaluation exploits experimental design with intervention randomly assigned at the sub-district level for a duration of two and a half years. The analysis finds no impact of the incentives to cooperatives of community health workers. However, conditional in-kind demand-side incentives are shown to significantly increase take up of timely antenatal and postnatal consultations.
Zambia’s Results-Based Financing pilot project began in April 2012 in 11 rural districts, representing nine provinces out of a total of ten, 204 health facilities, and a total catchment population of nearly 1.7 million. The Zambian RBF model is one of the very few examples of “contracting in” with a view to build on and strengthen the existing public health system. The program was designed to help address various health system challenges including an insufficient and poorly motivated human-resource base; an erratic supply of essential medicines and medical supplies; limited autonomy in decision-making at decentralized levels of the health system; weak monitoring and evaluation systems; and poor quality of service delivery.
This presentation focuses on the results of the impact evaluation and provide an overview of some of the key messages and policy implications of the work.

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) is a public-private partnership between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Carlos Slim Foundation, the Government of Spain, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the countries of Central America and the State of Chiapas in Mexico. SMI works to reduce maternal and health inequalities through a results-based financing model, aligned with priorities established by the governments of the region. Among the poor in Mesoamerica, only 5 out of every 10 pregnant women are attended during childbirth by skilled birth personnel and the mortality rate among children in poverty is twice that of the national average.
Building agile and data-driven health system is a fundamental component of the Universal Health Coverage agenda. Data-driven health systems will require that countries set up smart data systems coupled with dynamic and reactive health financing instruments.
A large number of the low-income countries enhance their strategic purchasing function with the introduction of Results-Based Financing (RBF) instruments. In this presentation, Nicolas de Borman describes how the combination of DHIS2 platforms, RBF and mobile devices help build strategic purchasing function in health systems.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
