Our objectives are to document the spatial and temporal variation in grocer...... hiện toàn bộ

This study aimed to (i) estimate the direct expenditures of deliveries and c...... hiện toàn bộ

This paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized solution where several teleemergency doctors work in parallel in one office to support the ambulances in more districts. The service of incoming c...... hiện toàn bộ

Targeting efforts aimed at increasing access to care for the poorest by reducing to a minimum or completely eliminating payments at point of use are increasingly being adopted across low and middle income countries, within the framework of Universal Health Coverage policies. No evidence, however, is available on the real cost of designing and implementing these efforts. Our study aimed to fill thi...... hiện toàn bộ
