Article Synopsis
- Poor quality care and overprovision (unnecessary treatments) are major global health issues, prompting a study in Tanzania's private health sector to explore their relationship with provider effort.
- Standardised patients assessed 227 private and faith-based health facilities for asthma and TB, noting the treatment received and evaluating provider effort based on a set checklist of recommended questions and exams.
- Results showed that increased provider effort led to a higher likelihood of delivering correct care and a lower likelihood of unnecessary care, with more diligent providers charging higher consultation fees but not extra for lab tests or medications.
