Estimating Long-Term Global Resource Needs for AIDS through 2031

in

This paper incorporates results from several of the aids2031 working groups to examine the costs and financial implications of changing the current approach to fighting HIV/AIDS.  It examines four different scenarios: Current Trends, Rapid Scale-up, Hard Choices for Prevention and Structural Change.

By 2031, the HIV/AIDS epidemic will enter its 50th year. In 1981, no one expected that the epidemic would become the challenge that the world faces today, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. Efforts to address the epidemic have increased dramatically over the last decade, but the epidemic remains. Without a change in approach, it is likely that the epidemic will still be with us in 2031.

Country Assessment of the Private Health Sector in Ghana

in

The Ministry of Health, with support from the joint IFC/World Bank Health in Africa Initiative, launched the Country Assessment on July 20th, 2009. At present the R4D study team is conducting a large-scale review of the Ghanaian private health sector, with the ultimate goal of offering concrete, actionable recommendations on effectively harnessing the potential of private providers of health services.

In Ghana today, about half of both rural and urban residents obtain health services from the private sector. Though only limited evidence is available on the quality of private care, an effectively regulated private health sector can potentially play an important role in the provision of health services.
