Policy learning and universal health coverage in low- and middle-income countries
Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo, Manuela De Allegri, Bruno Meessen
Learning is increasingly seen as an essential component to spur progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, learning remains an elusive concept, with different understandings and uses that vary from one person or organisation to another. Specifically, it appears that ‘learning for UHC’(...)

Effective coverage measurement in maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition: progress, future prospects, and implications for quality health systems.
Andrew D Marsh, Moise Muzigaba, Theresa Diaz, Jennifer Requejo, Debra Jackson, Doris Chou, Jenny A Cresswell, Regina Guthold, Allisyn C Moran,Kathleen L Strong, Anshu Banerjee, Agnès Soucat, on behalf of the Effective Coverage Think Tank Group*
Intervention coverage—the proportion of the population with a health-care need who receive care—does not accountfor intervention quality and potentially overestimates health benefits of services provided to populations. Effective coverage introduces the dimension of quality of care to the measurement of intervention coverage. Many definitions(...)

"It Depends on What They Experience in Each Health Facility. Some Are Satisfied, Others Are Not." A MixedMethods Exploration of Health Workers’ Attitudes Towards Performance-Based Financing in Burkina Faso
Julia Lohmann Jean-Louis Koulidiati Serge MA Somda, Manuela De Allegri
Background
Evidence emerging from qualitative studies suggests the existence of substantial variation in how health workers experience performance-based financing (PBF) within the same setting. To date, however, no study has quantified or systematically explored this within-setting heterogeneity. Considering that differences in health workers(...)

Economic Evaluation of User-Fee Exemption Policies for Maternal Healthcare in Burkina Faso: Evidence From a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Hoa Thi Nguyen, Aleksandra Torbica, Stephan Brenner, Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo, Ludovic Tapsoba, Valéry Ridde, Manuela De Allegri
Objectives: The reduction and removal of user fees for essential care services have recently become a key instrument to advance universal health coverage in sub-Saharan Africa, but no evidence exists on its cost-effectiveness. We aimed to address this gap by estimating the cost-effectiveness of 2 user-fee exemption interventions in Burkina Fas(...)

Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (Dhfr and Dhps) and Artemisinin and Its Derivatives (K13): A Major Challenge for Malaria Elimination in West Africa
Valérie B. Bazie, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Tani Sagna, Tegwindé Rebeca Compaore, Serge Théophile Soubeiga, Pegdwendé Abel Sorgho, Albert Théophane Yonli, Jacques Simpore
The spread of resistance to antimalarials is a major public health problem worldwide and especially in sub-Saharan Africa where the highest morbidity and mortality rates are found with a critical scarcity of data on resistance. The objective of this review is to describe the mutations in the pfdhfr, pfdhps and k13 genes associated with resista(...)

Based on their strictly individual and immutable characters, fingerprints are indispensable tool for
person’s identification. In forensic science, digital pattern families constitute the first level of comparison
between an incriminated digital trace and a suspect fingerprint. Until now in the literature, there was no data on
the distributi(...)
