Inter-American Development Bank publication estimates the efficiency of health spending in 145 middle and high- income and the potential gains from improving efficiency for a range of health system outputs using Data Envelopment Analysis for 2010- 2014 and 2015- 2019 and examine associations with health system characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.

Their results suggest that, improving spending efficiency could increase life expectancy at birth by 3.5 years (4.6%), or slightly more than the 3.4 year improvement in average life expectancy in the region between 2000 and 2015. Similarly, improved efficiency could reduce neonatal mortality by 6.7 per 1,000 live births (62%) , increase service coverage by 6 percentage points ( 8.7%), and reduce the rich- poor gap in birth attendance by 10 percentage points (12.6%). The study finds that governance quality is positively associated with efficiency. Overall, the findings indicate an urgent need to improve efficiency in the region and substantial scope for realizing the potential gains of such improvements .<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Inter-American Development Bank publication estimates the efficiency of health spending in 145 middle and high- income and the potential gains from improving efficiency for a range of health system outputs using Data Envelopment Analysis for 2010- 2014 and 2015- 2019 and examine associations with health system characteristics.Focusing on Latin American and Caribbean countries, the authors…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":559,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[],"tags":[127,131],"document_type":[2336],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987667369"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/documents"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/559"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987667369"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987667369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987751592,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/987667369\/revisions\/987751592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987667369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987667369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987667369"},{"taxonomy":"document_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p4h.world\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document_type?post=987667369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
