Article Synopsis
- * A model was used to analyze costs and health outcomes, showing that strengthening these linked services can significantly diminish unintended pregnancies, induced abortions, live births, and infant infections.
- * Results indicate that for a relatively low cost, this integrated approach can avert multiple negative outcomes, supporting the idea that enhancing healthcare provider training and contraception methods is a cost-effective solution.
Background Objectives: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) during pregnancy is treated with oral and parenteral iron. The objective of this review was to compare the clinical effectiveness, safety, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of intravenous (iv) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and iv iron sucrose (IS) in treating IDA in pregnancy.
Methods: The Department of Health Research funded this study.
Background Objectives: The prong 2 of 4 prong strategy introduced by the World Health Organization aims at averting unintended pregnancies among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This systematic review aimed to generate evidence on the effectuality of facility-based interventions in improving uptake of modern and dual contraception, for reducing unmet family planning (FP) needs and unintended pregnancies among PLHIV.
Methods: Articles evaluating facility-based interventions to integrate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and FP published in English language were included.
Background: Integration of HIV care into family planning (FP) services would help in reducing unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV.
Objectives: This study focuses on determining the health system cost for providing the linked HIV-FP services per beneficiary for the year 2019-2020.
Materials And Methods: Using mixed micro-costing approach costs were collected from two tertiary hospitals in Maharashtra, India.
