Resource Pack: Ethiopian Health Decision Sciences

This resource pack provides a curated set of peer-reviewed articles that represent the growing evidence base for decision making and priority setting in Ethiopia - with an emphasis on improving health, reducing inequity, and preventing health-related impoverishment. Curated by Dr. Stéphane Verguet at the Center for Health Decision Science, most of the papers reflect work done as part of the Disease Control Priorities-Ethiopia (DCP-E) project. 

The pack provides scholarship that spans maternal-child health, vaccine-preventable disease, infectious diseases such as HIV, TB and malaria, non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Papers range from cost-effectiveness and extended cost-effectiveness analyses, to empiric estimates of disease incidence, out of pocket expenditures and medical impoverishment. Broader synthesis studies provide insight into country contextualization of cost-effectiveness analyses and progress towards universal coverage, through the lens and experiences of Ethiopia. 

The Disease Control Priorities-Ethiopia (DCP-E) project is sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and implemented by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the University of Bergen and aims to bring evidence and methods of priority setting and health economics closer to policy decision-making in Ethiopia. Stéphane Verguet is Assistant Professor of Global Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the Department of Global Health and Population.
