Abstract
The three policies analyzed in this
document include a minimalist policy in which the government
strengthens private sector delivery, an intermediate policy
of providing treatment for mothers who have AIDS and their
spouses, and a generous policy of providing treatment to the
poorest 40 percent of all AIDS patients. In January 2004 the
Indian government adopted an AIDS financing policy which
contains elements of all three of the hypothetical policies
analyzed in this book. This study's projections of the
total financial cost of the program and of the
cost-effectiveness of the three options can help the
government and its partners to plan the scale-up of the
existing treatment program, to optimize the mix of
components in order to improve its cost-effectiveness and to
design monitoring and evaluation measures which provide
feedback on program performance.
