This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS has been one of the largest public health crises in recent history, and the U.S. federal government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting the disease. This study examines the impact of federal funding allocated to U.S. cities through the Ryan White CARE Act, which is the largest program for combating HIV/AIDS in the United States. The empirical approach identifies the impact of the funding by studying funding variation that comes from Ryan White policy features that resulted in large funding differences among cities that were originally on parallel HIV/AIDS trajectories and finds that Ryan White's city-level funding has improved HIV/AIDS outcomes in the cities receiving the funds. The estimates indicate that one HIV/AIDS death has been avoided for every $314,000 allocated through the program and that the program has saved approximately 60,000 lives through 2018. The estimates also indicate that funding differences across cities have contributed to the uneven progress in combating HIV/AIDS across the United States.

Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS is a catastrophe globally but nowhere more so than in sub-Saharan Africa, which in 2008 accounted for 67 percent of cases worldwide and 91 percent of new infections. The Institute of Medicine recommends that the United States and African nations move toward a strategy of shared responsibility such that these nations are empowered to take ownership of their HIV/AIDS problem and work to solve it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funding the Fight Against HIV/AIDS in the Health, Education and Social Development Sectors, a newly-released research paper series by the Budget Information Service, addresses how government finances and budgets for HIV/AIDS at the national and provincial levels. [...] Therefore three papers of the series address the funding mecha- nisms involved in the response to HIV/AIDS by the departments of Health, Education and Social Development. [...] The NIP is the guiding strategy for the national response to HIV/AIDS and the primary channel to carry national funds to provinces for AIDS. [...] The paper discusses some of the initial problems experienced during the implementation phase of the National Integrated Plan from a Social Development perspective, including: the limited priority given to HCBC in the NIP; the difficulty of targeting for HIV/AIDS programmes due to the stigma attached to the disease; and problems with funding mechanisms at the local level. [...] Finally the health paper in the series covers both the national Department of Health and five provincial health departments-KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Northern Prov- ince, Eastern Cape, and the Free State.

Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where more than 2/3 of the people who are infected with HIV live. The Agency for Internat. Develop. (USAID) allocated a 54% increase in funding, from $114 mill. to $174 mill., for FY'01 to expand its HIV/AIDS efforts in sub-Saharan Africa. This report: identifies the develop. & impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in SSA & the challenges to slowing its spread; assesses the extent to which the USAID's initiatives have contributed to the fight against AIDS in SSA; & identifies the approach that the agency used to allocate increased funding & the factors that may affect the agency's ability to expand its HIV/AIDS program in SSA.
Download or read book Economic Challenges in the Fight Against HIV AIDS written by Patrick Leoni and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight against HIV/AIDS is, above all, an economic issue. The scale of the pandemic and the lack of funds needed to eradicate it require identifying key issues in field interventions and optimal economic policies to fund them. In developing countries, where the epidemic is reaching its peak, the magnitude of governmental and international interventions triggers major crowding-out effects on every other economic decision of those countries, and thus HIV/AIDS affects every aspect of social life. Economic policies alleviating crowding-out effects are thus paramount to foster the economic growth of developing countries and, in turn, their future welfare. Economic issues in the fight against HIV/AIDS are also a primary concern for developed countries, in charge not only of subsidising current treatment campaigns domestically but also of funding R&D in innovative treatments. Designing optimal incentives for public and private agencies to reduce the costs of available medicines, and to develop innovative treatments such as a therapeutic vaccine, is as important as drug delivery or any other field campaign to eventually eradicate the disease. Over two decades of practical implementation of economic policies and academic research have shown many pitfalls in current policies, and they have made it possible to identify previously missed issues. This book shall provide a recent and comprehensive coverage of those policies, and it shall analyse their economic efficiency as well as ways of improvement using state-of-the-art academic findings in Economics and Finance. The authors discuss in detail and provide new economic analyses on the following issues: The nation-wide and international economic consequences of the spread of the disease; Market incentives and disincentives to produce and to develop treatment technologies; The nature and optimality of economic policies devoted to fighting the disease in developing countries, as well as the enhancement of current policies through financial innovations.

Book excerpt: The overall goal of the NIP is: " to ensure access to an appropriate and effective integrated system of prevention, care and support services for children infected and effected by HIV/AIDS."(Government of South Africa, 2001c) The NIP comprises of three programmes: the Life Skills programme in primary and secondary schools; the voluntary counselling and testing programme (VCT); and the Comment: Thi. [...] National Working Group The National Working Group, based mainly at the offices of the Department of Health, is responsible for assisting the provincial co-ordinators of the programme and facilitating the rollout of the integrated plan. [...] The national departments are the transferring agent for the provincial conditional grants: • For the VCT programme, a portion of the programme funds are retained by DoH for administration and the rest given to provincial health departments in conditional grants. [...] Although DoH is playing this extra role in the NIP of helping to co-ordinate the Life Skills and CHBC programmes, for the first three years of the NIP the DoE still receives the majority of the NIP funds because of the strong policy emphasis on prevention and education. [...] In the first two years of the programme-when each of the national departments were distributing the conditional grant monies based on a rationale fitting for each programme--the cumulative effect was that the provinces with the largest share of the national HIV-positive population were not receiving the corresponding share of total conditional grant funds.

This book was released on 2008-07-22 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We began to research for this book in 2000, with the idea that we might contribute to the search for solutions to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic by c- bining perspectives from different disciplines. Much has happened in the interv- ing years. First, the severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa – and the threat it posed for many others regions of the world – led to a movement among several countries to correct the imbalance between producers and users of ph- maceutical products. This effort produced a clarification of the right of gove- ments to produce generic medicine under compulsory licenses and an amendment of the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS Agreement to allow exports of generic medicines from one WTO Member to another. In 2007, the amended rules were put into practice, with Canada authorizing the export of generic antiretroviral drugs to Rwanda. However, at the same time, global patent laws have been undermined due to regulatory capture, most notably in free trade agreements and through political pressure on countries like Thailand to not to exercise their right to issue compulsory licenses for pharmaceutical products. Second, the amount of money available for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS has increased dramatically, with the establishment of the World Bank Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program for Africa (MAP), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), among other funding initiatives.
