    The Geography of Universal Health Coverage: Why geographic information systems are needed to ensure equitable access to quality health care

    Roth2, Susann; Ebener, Steeve; Kijsanayotin, Boonchai; Landry, Mark; Marcelo, Alvin; Parry, Jane | April 2016
    Abstract
    To narrow the gap between availability of coverage and effective coverage, it is necessary to understand the social, economic, demographic, and geographic composition of the target population, and that portion of it for whom quality interventions have to be effective. This requires disaggregated and spatially distributed data, not only for the target population and the concerned points of service delivery, but also for the topography that clients have to cross in order to access services. In many parts of Asia and the Pacific, there is adequate national level data on health service provision, but this often belies significant subnational disparities in service access by particular groups or in specific geographical areas. Moreover, available data often only capture health services provided by the public sector

      Universal Health Coverage by Design: ICT-enabled solutions are the future of equitable, quality health care and resilient health systems 

      Roth, Susan; Landry, Mark; Parry, Jane (Asian Development Bank, 2015-06-01)
      Information and communication technology (ICT) is key to achieving and measuring universal health coverage in Asia and the Pacific. Asia and the Pacific continues to face complex public health challenges, including widening social and economic inequities, escalating health-care costs, vulnerability to health systems shocks due to natural disasters and pandemics, and a changing disease profile ...

      Population Health and Foreign Direct Investment: Does Poor Health Signal Poor Government Effectiveness? 

      Tandon, Ajay (Asian Development Bank, 2005-01-01)
      This policy brief argues that poor levels of population health can deter foreign direct investment because they can act as potent signals of institutional weaknesses and, more broadly, of lower levels of government effectiveness. The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 in Asia brought into sharp focus the linkages between health and the macroeconomy. The economic impact of ...
