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.

On Prioritizing Health: A Background Analysis

October 26, 2020

This resource shares the results of a global review of country efforts to prioritize public spending in the health sector, intended as background reading material developed during the course of the JLN’s Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) collaborative. On Prioritizing Health: A Background Analysis includes a global review of health share of public spending across 20 low, middle, and high-income countries, to identify successful cases of reprioritization. Subsequent efforts based on this analysis can focus on a deep dive for a sub-set of countries that have sustained recent reprioritization efforts toward health. Health is often seen as an unproductive sector, which can make it challenging for Ministries of Health to make the case for greater investment. By gathering insights into successful reprioritization efforts, countries and policymakers can better understand how successful efforts have overcome common bottlenecks.

Global Landscape: Fiscal Space for Health

May 28, 2020

Public financing in the health sector is an essential component for countries working to implement universal health coverage (UHC). Unfortunately, the reality that many low- and middle-income countries currently face are health systems that are inefficiently funded through high levels of out-of-pocket spending. As demographics shift and the burden of chronic disease management rises, countries must identify ways to increase public financing for health and reduce out-of-pocket costs. This report helps make the case for why countries must “realize fiscal space for health” to continue to advance their UHC goals.

Leveraging Provider Payment to Achieve Health System Goals

On February 18-20, 2020, the Primary Health Care Financing and Payment collaborative hosted 60 participants from 14 countries in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to discuss and share how provider payment mechanisms support health goals in different countries. Some key takeaways from the discussions included: There is no one approach that works everywhere all the time, and no endpoint. There are many ongoing country innovations to learn from. Being a strategic purchaser starts with analysis… and analysis starts with using what you have. Download the Leveraging Provider Payment to Achieve Health System Goals report for a full recap of the meeting.
