ArticlePublication 2021Using Health Management Information System Data: Case Study and Verification of Institutional Deliveries in Ethiopia
This article investigates the quality of Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) data in Ethiopia through …
This article investigates the quality of Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) data in Ethiopia through a data verification study, aiming to enhance its utility in research and policy. By linking HMIS data to the 2016 Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care Assessment, the study compares reported delivery and caesarean section (C-section) visits in HMIS to source documents from 2,425 health facilities across Ethiopia. Findings indicate that two-thirds of facilities exhibit 'good' HMIS reporting for deliveries, with…

ArticlePublication 2019CEA of Maternal and Neonatal Health Interventions
This article, published in Health Policy and Planning, examines the cost-effectiveness of several maternal and …
This article, published in Health Policy and Planning, examines the cost-effectiveness of several maternal and neonatal health (MNH) interventions in an Ethiopian setting. The authors employ a static life table model to estimate the health impact of a 20% increase in intervention coverage relative to baseline. The results indicate that many MNH interventions are highly cost-effective. This evidence can be useful to inform the ongoing essential health services package revision in Ethiopia.

ArticlePublication 2019Modelling Hospital Operations from Paper Registry Data
This article, published in BMJ Global Health, aims to evaluate operations management techniques, which are …
This article, published in BMJ Global Health, aims to evaluate operations management techniques, which are underutilized in the Ethiopian health system. Previous research has outlined the limitations of paper-based patient records, but few studies have examined their potential utility for improving management of hospital operations. The authors use data collected from paper registries in an Ethiopian obstetrics ward at Addis Ababa’s Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia’s largest university hospital, to model the ward’s operations. The…

ArticlePublication 2016Inequalities in Maternal and Child Health Utilization
This article, published in BMC Health Services Research, aims to measure changes in inequality in …
This article, published in BMC Health Services Research, aims to measure changes in inequality in access to maternal and child health (MCH) interventions and the effect of primary health care (PHC) facilities expansion on the inequality in access to care in Ethiopia. The authors utilize The Demographic and Health Survey datasets from Ethiopia (2005 and 2011) to calculate changes in utilization of MCH interventions and child morbidity and estimate concentration and horizontal inequity indices. The…

ArticlePublication 2015Health Gains & Financial Risk Protection by Public Financing in Ethiopia: An ECEA
This article, published in the Lancet Global Health, aims to evaluate the health and financial …
This article, published in the Lancet Global Health, aims to evaluate the health and financial risk protection benefits of selected interventions that could be publicly financed by the government of Ethiopia. The authors used an extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA) to assess the health gains (deaths averted) and financial risk protection afforded (cases of poverty averted) by a bundle of nine interventions that the Government of Ethiopia aims to make universally available. This approach incorporates financial…
