The diagonal approach: A theoretic framework for the economic evaluation of vertical and horizontal interventions in healthcare

Erin Kirwin et al.

Summary: The diagonal approach combines vertical and horizontal interventions in health system funding. This paper develops a theoretic framework for the diagonal approach using integer programming, allowing for simultaneous evaluation of different interventions and accounting for spillovers and intertemporal effects. The framework expands on existing work, providing a flexible and realistic basis for decision-making in resource allocation and improving patient health outcomes.

The journey to UHC: how well are vertical programmes integrated in the health benefits package? A scoping review

Lydia Regan et al.

Summary: This review reveals that there is no standardized starting point for countries embarking on universal health coverage, with some health benefits packages being nearly three decades old. Revisions to the entire package are uncommon, and the inclusion of vertical programs does not follow a set pattern based on health financing indicators or a country's income group. Maternal child health services are most frequently included, while family planning is least included.

Task-sharing to support paediatric and child health service delivery in low- and middle-income countries: current practice and a scoping review of emerging opportunities

Yingxi Zhao et al.

Summary: Research has shown that while some training opportunities nominally support emerging roles for non-physician clinicians and nurses, formal scopes of practices often remain rather restricted and neither training nor policy seems well aligned with probable needs from high-burden complex and chronic conditions. Studies have found evidence examining task-sharing for a small set of specific conditions aside from historically shifted conditions such as circumcision, some complex surgery, rheumatic heart diseases, epilepsy, and mental health.
