Report: Patient Pathways and Pandemics: COVID-19 and Beyond Learning Exchange

April 29, 2022

The Community of Practice (COP) supporting Malaysia’s improvement and expansion of telemedicine for primary health care (PHC), referred to as e–Consultations, represents a potential model for future implementation–oriented JLN engagements. The Malaysia team, with the support and accompaniment of country participants (CPs) and technical facilitation teams (TFTs), successfully implemented key activities along three technical thematic areas despite of the limitations they faced in the midst of an ongoing globalpandemic with unpredictable surges. The duration of the COP was 11 months, from February 2021 to January 2022. The main features of the joint–learning model consisted of: the selection of an implementer country (Malaysia); adoption of an advisory and coaching–based learning approach in which TFTs and CPs assisted the Malaysian teams understand and solve practical issues related to implementation; use of regular but short virtual COP meetings; division of activities and outputs into “implementation planning” and “implementation accompaniment” phases; quantitative measurement of results, and development of a user–friendly e–library of relevant knowledge resources. Based on the technical results, several insightful policy implications came to the fore that can inform future e–Consultation scale–up and improvement efforts in Malaysia and globally. A number of lessons emerged from COP experience than can guide the design of future JLN implementation–oriented engagements.

Narrative Summaries on Public Expenditure for Health

December 6, 2021

The DRM collaborative created narrative summaries to help Ministry of Health policymakers effectively analyze and present evidence-based arguments for investment in health to their Ministry of Finance counterparts using their own budget data and supplemented with global resources. The concise analyses explore how trends in data are related to within-country policy dialogue and/or health financing reforms. Each narrative summary shares a country experience and demonstrates how countries can use historical evidence for policy dialogue. Paired with any of the additional DRM collaborative products such as the Making the Case for Health: A Messaging Guide for Domestic Resource Mobilization or other Policy Dialogue Toolkit resources (accessible to myJLN users), narrative summaries can be used by policymakers in Ministries of Health to engage in policy dialogue with their counterparts in their respective Ministries of Finance. Several DRM collaborative member countries (and also some non-member countries using DRM collaborative knowledge products) are in the process of compiling their historical budgetary data and putting it together as a narrative summary in a standardized format. Narrative summaries will be available here for download as and when completed and made available by countries. Co-produced by country members and the World Bank technical team, narrative summaries are useful for policymakers who are seeking to identify and understand historical health financing trends in their country budgetary data. Country members interested in developing a narrative summary for their country are requested to contact [email protected].
