 SCALING UP

The research undertaken within this theme will examine how strategies for scaling up coverage of priority health interventions can be designed and implemented in order to successfully reach the poorest.

The consortium is yet to undertake primary research on scaling-up. However, there have been developments in CREHS-related work. These include:

Kenya The Kenya Medical Research Institute and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will work with Population Services International on a study which evaluates the impact of delivering subsidised Artemisinin-based combination therapy through shops.

South Africa A number of studies conducted by the Health Economics Unit at the University of Cape Town address the cost, equity and efficiency of scaling-up HIV treatment in South Africa.

Benin, Nigeria and Cambodia Rapid assessments of the private sector supply chain for antimalarial drugs in Benin, Nigeria and Cambodia. All three of these countries have successfully applied for the first phase of the Affordable Medicines Facility - Malaria (AMFm), a new financing mechanism for antimalarial drugs which aims to significantly reduce the price of ACTs by offering a co-payment for ACTs purchased by eligible buyers. The reports seek to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the supply chains in each country, and to describe how the private sector would respond to subsidised ACTs.
