PLOS Collection: Economic Efficiency of HIV Services
2017
In order to maximize the value for money for HIV services and increase efficiency without sacrificing quality, robust and up-to-date data on costs, efficiency and its determinants are needed. This PLOS collection, Economic Efficiency of HIV Services, presents recent, high-quality evidence from low- and middle-income countries on costs and technical efficiency of HIV services and their determinants. These data contribute to the current discussion on optimizing resources for HIV services and can provide programmatic guidance for decision-makers.
Selected examples of recent papers include:
- Costs of facility-based HIV testing in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe
- Revealed willingness-to-pay versus standard cost-effectiveness thresholds: Evidence from the South African HIV Investment Case
- Changing the South African national antiretroviral therapy guidelines: The role of cost modelling
- Getting it right when budgets are tight: Using optimal expansion pathways to prioritize responses to concentrated and mixed HIV epidemics
