Constructing an Effective Prevention Program</a> <span>(PDF | 1.1MB)</span> <br/> <span class="documentdescription">The AIDS pandemic is one of the most severe epidemics in the modern era, with devastating demographic and economic effects. The pandemic has continued to spread at an alarmingly rapid pace - 2.7 million new infections occur each year (UNAIDS 2008a). The number of people living with HIV worldwide continues to increase as new people become infected and as antiretroviral therapy (ARV) extends the lifespan of people living with HIV (UNAIDS 2008a). Sub-Saharan Africa is the most heavily infected region, accounting for 67 percent of all people living with HIV and 75 percent of all AIDS-related deaths (UNAIDS 2008a). Of the 22.5 million people living with HIV in the region, it is estimated that 60 percent are women and 12 percent are children (UNAIDS 2008a). Given the increasing numbers of HIV-infected individuals, the social, health, and economic consequences are tremendous, and highlight the urgent need for effective HIV prevention programming.</span> </td> <td class="authorsColumnValue">Sandra I.

Thus, an estimated 9 million infants - representing approximately 7 percent of all births - are born annually with a serious birth defect that may kill them or result in lifelong disability.</span> </td> <td class="authorsColumnValue">Christopher P.

Are they larger in one country than another? Are health sector subsidies more equally distributed in some countries than others? Are health care payments more progressive in one health care financing system than another? What are catastrophic payments and how can they be measured? How far do health care payments impoverish households? Answering questions such as these requires quantitative analysis. This in turn depends on a clear understanding of how to measure key variables in the analysis, such as health outcomes, health expenditures, need, and living standards. It also requires set quantitative methods for measuring inequality and inequity, progressivity, catastrophic expenditures, poverty impact, and so on. This book provides an overview of the key issues that arise in the measurement of health variables and living standards, outlines and explains essential tools and methods for distributional analysis, and, using worked examples, shows how these tools and methods can be applied in the health sector. The book seeks to provide the reader with both a solid grasp of the principles underpinning distributional analysis, while at the same time offering hands-on guidance on how to move from principles to practice </span> </td> <td class="authorsColumnValue">Owen O'Donnell , Eddy van Doorslaer , Adam Wagstaff , Magnus Lindelow </td> <td class="typeColumnValue">Book</td> <td class="publicationDateColumnValue"> Nov 2007 </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="topicsColumnValue"> Emergency Medical Services, Health Systems, Hospitals, Injuries and Violence, Maternal and Neonatal Health, Surgery </td> <td class="titleColumnValue"> <a href="/web/20100120033215/http://www.dcp2.org/file/137/Bellagio Report - Increasing Access to Surgical Services.pdf" target="_blank">Bellagio Report - Conference on Increasing Access to Surgical Services in Resource-Constrained Settings in Sub-Saharan Africa</a> <span>(PDF | 60.7k)</span> <br/> <span class="documentdescription">In June 2007, international experts in surgery, anesthesia, health policy, epidemiology and health economics examined the necessary steps to increase access to surgical services in rural sub-Saharan Africa.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century. The Global Family Planning Revolution preserves the remarkable record of this success. Its editors and authors offer more than a historical record. They disccuss important lessons for current and future initiatives of the international community. Some programs succeeded while others initially failed, and the analyses provide valuable guidance for emerging health-related policy objectives and responses to global challenges. </span> </td> <td class="authorsColumnValue">Edited by Warren C.

Nearly 500 experts worldwide compiled and reviewed the scientific research on a broad range of diseases and conditions, the results of which are published this week. A major product of DCPP, Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries, 2nd edition (DCP2), focuses on the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of health-improving strategies (or interventions) for the conditions responsible for the greatest burden of disease. DCP2 also examines crosscutting issues crucial to the delivery of quality health services, including the organisation, financial support, and capacity of health systems. Here, we summarise the key messages of the project.</span> </td> <td class="authorsColumnValue">Ramanan Laxminarayan; Anne Mills; Joel G. Breman; Anthony R.
