Potential for additional government spending on HIV/AIDS in 137 low-income and middle-income countries: an economic modelling study

Haakenstad, A.; Moses, M.W.; Tao, T.; et al. (2019) CC

Between 2012 and 2016, development assistance for HIV/AIDS decreased by 20·0%; domestic financing is therefore critical to sustaining the response to HIV/AIDS. To understand whether domestic resources could fill the financing gaps created by declines in development assistance, we aimed to track spe... more

Use of statins for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in 41 low-income and middle-income countries: a cross-sectional study of nationally representative, individual-level data

Marcus, M.E.; Manne-Goehler, J.; Theilmann, M. (2022) CC

Background In the prevention of cardiovascular disease, a WHO target is that at least 50% of eligible people use statins. Robust evidence is needed to monitor progress towards this target in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), where most cardiovascular disease deaths occur. The objectiv... more
