How can health accounts inform health sector investments? Lessons from countr...HFG Project
Countries must have a firm grasp on their health financing landscape in order to ensure sufficient and effective use of resources. Health Accounts—an internationally standardized methodology that allows a country to understand the source, magnitude, and flow of funds through its health sector—provide a wealth of information on past spending. When combined with macroeconomic, health utilization, and health indicator data, Health Accounts provide powerful insights for health financing policy.
USAID’s Health Finance and Governance (HFG) project supports countries to institutionalize their Health Accounts so that they are produced regularly and efficiently, and are a useful tool for policymakers. In this technical briefing webinar, held June 29, 2016, HFG experts used country examples to demonstrate how Health Accounts have been (and can be) used to inform national health financing decisions. The experts also provided perspectives on the future of Health Accounts.

USAID’s Office of Health Systems and the HFG Project recently launched the Impact of Health Systems Strengthening on Health report, which for the first time presents a significant body of peer-reviewed evidence linking health systems strengthening interventions to measurable impacts on health outcomes. The report identifies 13 types of health systems strengthening interventions with quantifiable effects. It shares evidence on how to strengthen health system performance to achieve sustainable health improvements at scale, particularly toward EPCMD, an AFG, and protecting communities against infectious diseases. Interventions were found to be associated with reductions in mortality and morbidity for a range of conditions, including diarrhea, malnutrition, low birth weight, and diabetes. HSS interventions are also associated with improvements in service utilization, financial protection, and quality service provision.

On October 28, Health Systems Global (HSG)’s Translating Evidence into Action Working Group hosted a webinar on a regional initiative to empower public and private leaders in Francophone Africa with evidence and research related to universal health coverage (UHC). In response to calls for UHC reforms in the region, the African Health Economics and Policy Association (AfHEA) has trained over 45 policymakers and other stakeholders from 16 countries across Francophone Africa to address their urgent need for relevant evidence and knowledge to advance their country’s progress towards UHC. Training participants were self- or employer- financed, and came from Ministries of Health, quasi-governmental agencies (social security agencies, health insurance), or were young African researchers, analysts, and activists in civil society.
The webinar focused on how AfHEA made the wealth of evidence on financing and structuring UHC in English, accessible in French (What did policy makers need to make UHC policy and how did AfHEA get it to them successfully?) and how the training participants continue to support each other in using evidence to inform policy (Where do policymakers go for evidence or technical support and what is most useful to them?). The hour-long webinar—held in French with a separate line for simultaneous English translation—saw over 50 participants and featured four speakers.
Speakers:
Pascal Ndiaye, Health Finance and Policy Specialist, AfHEA (Moderator)
Miloud Kaddar, Senior Health Economist, World Health Organization (Panelist)
Marie Nome Essoh Lattroh, Technical Adviser, Ministry of Economy and Finance, Senegal (Panelist)
Hugues B.M. Tchibozo, Deputy Director General, National Health Insurance Agency, Ministry of Health, Benin (Panelist)
The panel included training participants (Ms. Lattroh and Mr. Tchibozo), an instructor (Mr. Kaddar), and an organizer (Mr. Ndiaye). The diverse experiences provided for a rich panel and discussion.
Major takeaways from the webinar:
The increased global focus on UHC represents an opportunity to advance policies and strategies for extending health care access to vulnerable populations across Africa.
UHC should be a medium to long term goal requiring a health systems approach and sustained engagement by all actors and stakeholders.
There is no single source of funding for UHC.
Resolving shortages and unequal distribution of the health workforce in Africa is essential for achieving UHC.
While the term “universal” signals that the entire population will be “covered,” an unanswered question is: covered with what? What benefits or interventions represent “coverage”?
The importance and diversity of the informal sector requires special attention. Policies must be based on context-specific evidence of what works.

Institutional Arrangement for Health Financing Reform at the State LevelHFG Project

Evaluation Of Health Insurance Implementation In NigeriaTarry Asoka
As public resources to finance health care in Nigeria continue to decline, the country has embraced the concept of health insurance as a source of significant alternative funding. And based on experience gathered from the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme, there is strong evidence to suggest that this idea is feasible in Nigeria. However, with a very low coverage rate, the health insurance programme in Nigeria is facing many challenges that have slowed down progress. This presentation reflects on these issues and notes that the current system of health insurance in the country is still useful in securing universal financial access to healthcare for all Nigerians. What is required is to: strengthen already existing structures, modify areas that need adjustments, and facilitate rapid programme uptake especially at the State level through creative engagement with stakeholders.
See this short presentation on LMG's work with vulnerable populations to understand why this work with outstanding global leaders with disabilities and those who work with other vulnerable populations is so important.
Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, delta systems, and coral reefs are increasingly at risk due in large part to
settlement and development along rapidly urbanizing coasts. The resulting degradation of these ecosystems,
especially the degradation of natural infrastructure, increasingly exposes coastal cities and their inhabitants to
more frequent and severe natural hazards and disproportionately impacts poor populations who often rely on these ecosystems for livelihoods, food, and other essential benefits.

Community Health Systems Catalog: The One-Stop Shop for Community Healthy Inf...JSI
Over the past few decades, many countries have lacked cohesive community health policies, strategies, and guidelines, resulting in systems that are fragmented, poorly integrated with national health systems, and unable to reach scale. For years, countries have had limited access to global data and evidence to inform community health program design and implementation.
In 2014, APC launched the Community Health Systems Catalog as a resource for 25 countries deemed priority by USAID’s Office of Population and Reproductive Health. Updated in 2016–2017, the CHS Catalog contains information from community health policies, with a focus on community health workers (CHWs) and over 130 community-based interventions.
The CHS Catalog provides an evidence base to inform, strengthen, and harmonize future policy efforts to advance global and national efforts to strengthen community health systems. Specifically, findings help answer key questions about community health policies. For example, which services can CHWs provide? How is community data supposed to be used? What is the community’s role in managing health programs? The CHS Catalog illustrates the breadth and diversity of CHWs – including their various tasks, skills, and characteristics across countries and regions. At the same time, the definition of a CHW still lacks consistency, and greater alignment and clarity of terminology is needed to inform the global conversation on CHWs. Guidance on applying more consistent definitions, such as the forthcoming WHO CHW Guidelines, should provide policymakers, program planners, implementers, and donors with the language to better convey information on best practices, experiences, and lessons in community health.
Presented by Kristen Devlin at the Fifth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Liverpool this October.
This was presented as part of a research workshop held at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) on 30 April 2015, in partnership with the Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) and the Transparency Accountability Initiative (TAI). The focus of the workshop was on "the quest for citizen-led accountability - looking into the state." The workshop explored the workings of the state and relations with citizens in order to better understand when citizen-led accountability efforts do and don't gain purchase.
This presentation looked at issues of accountability in health systems.
In cooperation with the Research and Evaluation Division of BRAC, Copenhagen Consensus Center organized roundtable discussions with an aim to figure out smarter solutions to the most problematic issues facing Bangladesh.
Universal health coverage (UHC) is a vision where all people and communities have access to quality health services where and when they need them, without suffering financial hardship. It includes the full spectrum of services needed throughout life—from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care—and is best based on a strong primary health care system.
COVID-19 PCR tests remain a critical component of safe and responsible travel in 2024. They ensure compliance with international travel regulations, help detect and control the spread of new variants, protect vulnerable populations, and provide peace of mind. As we continue to navigate the complexities of global travel during the pandemic, PCR testing stands as a key measure to keep everyone safe and healthy. Whether you are planning a business trip, a family vacation, or an international adventure, incorporating PCR testing into your travel plans is a prudent and necessary step.
