Reducing financial hardship from healthcare spending in low- and middle-income countries: a rapid evidence assessment
Closed: The FCDO invited tenders by 22 March 2024 to conduct a rapid evidence assessment of the research literature on the effects of interventions for reducing financial hardship for healthcare in low- and middle-income countries.
This opportunity closed on 22 March 2024.
Financial protection has been a relatively neglected issue, with much of the focus on coverage of services and medicines. Yet the most recent data is stark: financial protection globally is consistently getting worse.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) aims to:
- raise the status of financial protection as an issue that needs to be addressed
- contribute to a better understanding of the evidence on the steps that governments and others can take in different contexts to rapidly reduce financial hardship
To deliver a robust rapid evidence assessment, the FCDO seeks a research team that has expertise in:
- undertaking research in the field of health financing in low- and middle-income countries
- conducting rigorous evidence syntheses, including systematic reviews or rapid evidence assessments
- the range of empirical research methods used to evaluate health financing interventions
