Evaluate the comparative cost-effectiveness of 479 health intervention scenarios across 20 disease programmes to assist low- and middle-income countries in selecting universal health coverage packages.
Applied standard WHO CHOICE generalized cost-effectiveness analysis to Eastern sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Evaluated 479 intervention scenarios spanning 20 disease programmes and risk factors grounded in WHO clinical guidelines.
Modelled intervention costs in 2010 international dollars and projected health gains over a 100-year analytic time horizon starting from 2010.
Cost-effectiveness ratios across all evaluated interventions varied across multiple orders of magnitude in both regional settings.
An optimized health benefit package based on value for money addressed all major drivers of regional disease burden.
First-level clinical and non-clinical healthcare services provided the vast majority of high-impact, highly cost-effective interventions.
