Regional Network for Equity in Health in east and southern Africa (EQUINET): Disussion Paper 111
The health services delivery system in Zambia is pyramid in structure, with primary healthcare (PHC) services at community level, at the base, followed by first and second level hospitals at distric...t and provincial levels, respectively, and third level (tertiary) services at national level. Notably, primary health services are free in Zambia and health service providers are either governmentowned or not-for-profit facilities.
Over the years, resource constraints have affected the quality and extent of healthcare services at all levels, requiring the mobilisation of additional resources for the sector. In doing so, prioritisation was high on the agenda of health sector reform. The EHB, therefore, prioritises interventions with the highest impact on the population, enabling policy makers to revisit priority diseases and conditions and to cost the services provided at each level of facility. Other key issues in developing the EHB in Zambia have included the need to have cost-effective services and cost per capita of services for more systematic budgeting, to rank interventions and to validate and cost the health benefit package as a whole.

Regional Network for Equity in Health in east and southern Africa (EQUINET): Disussion Paper 110
This report compiles evidence from published, grey literature and key informants on the UNMHCP
since its introduction in Uganda’s health system, and findings were further validated during a oneda...y
national stakeholder meeting.
Three main factors motivated introduction of the UNMHCP. First, Uganda, along with other lowincome countries, was unable to implement holistically the primary healthcare (PHC) concepts as set out in the Alma Ata Declaration. Second, the macro-economic restructuring carried out in the 1990s, which was an international conditionality for low-income countries to access development financing, influenced the trend towards more stringent prioritisation of health interventions as a means of rationing and targeting use of resources. Third, the government sought to achieve equity with a service package that would be universally available for all people.

На основе эпидемиологического исследования за период 2000–2012 годов выявлены высокие показатели общей и первичной заболеваемости детского и подросткового населен...я в Российской Федерации и по всем федеральным округам. Установлено увеличение числа инвалидов среди детей и подростков при снижении коечных мест и тенденции сокращения числа детских и подростковых психиатров в психиатрических службах субъектов. Сложившаяся ситуация требует дальнейшего пересмотра подходов к оказанию психиатрической помощи несовершеннолетним лицам. Необходимо избежать сокращения объемов психиатрических ресурсов. Однако комплекс организационных мероприятий немыслим без адекватного финансового обеспечения территориальных программ оказания психиатрической помощи, в том числе на основании выполнения Программы государственных гарантий
бесплатного оказания гражданам медицинской помощи и выделения субсидий на диспансеризацию,
лечение и профилактику.
