    Using Allocative Efficiency Analysis to Inform Health Benefits Package Design for Progressing towards Universal Health Coverage: Proof-of-Concept Studies in Countries Seeking Decision Support
    (PLoS, 2021-11-29) Fraser-Hurt, Nicole ; Hou, Xiaohui ; Wilkinson, Thomas ; Duran, Denizhan ; Abou Jaoude, Gerard J. ; Skordis, Jolene ; Chukwuma, Adanna ; Lao Pena, Christine ; Tshivuila Matala, Opope O. ; Gorgens, Marelize ; Wilson, David P.
    Countries are increasingly defining health benefits packages (HBPs) as a way of progressing towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Resources for health are commonly constrained, so it is imperative to allocate funds as efficiently as possible. We conducted allocative efficiency analyses using the Health Interventions Prioritization tool (HIPtool) to estimate the cost and impact of potential HBPs in three countries. These analyses explore the usefulness of allocative efficiency analysis and HIPtool in particular, in contributing to priority setting discussions.
