UHC for Mental, Neurological, and Substance Use Disorders: An Extended CEA
2016
This study uses extended cost effectiveness analysis (ECEA) to analyze the impacts of universal public finance (UPF) on epilepsy, schizophrenia, and depression in India and Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian government has launched a National Mental Health Strategy which explicitly recognizes the importance of an efficient, equitable scale-up of mental health care within a broader, ongoing effort to increase levels of health insurance in the general population.
The analyses show that enhanced coverage of effective treatment leads to significant improvements in population health and that this can be achieved at a very reasonable cost.
