IHME’s Financing Global Health report provides an overview of health spending around the world, with a special focus on investments in health in low- and middle-income countries. The report examines how this funding for health is changing each year and forecasts how it may change in the future. Fi...nancing Global Health examines where money for health originates and what health issues it funds.
This year, Financing Global Health 2023 looks at how interest payments on loans that many countries took out during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep their economies afloat and their people protected are now straining health budgets. It also details how development partners’ investments in health in low- and middle-income countries – development assistance for health – have changed since reaching historic levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, dropping by $19.4 billion between 2021 and 2023, from $84.0 billion to $64.6 billion.

Todos los países de la Región de las Américas en los que la malaria es endémica han asumido el reto de eliminar la enfermedad y de poner en marcha medidas para orientar sus programas y estrategias de salud en esa dirección. En este manual se explica cómo ejecutar las medidas con vistas a logra...r la eliminación de la malaria y prevenir su restablecimiento, mediante el aumento de la intensidad y la calidad de las medidas, la reorientación de las iniciativas, la reducción de los retrasos que favorecen la transmisión y un monitoreo adecuado que permita ajustar las intervenciones. En este sentido, se propone como primer paso estratificar el territorio —de modo que se puedan planificar y priorizar las intervenciones y grupos de población— para, a continuación, aplicar una medida de diagnóstico, tratamiento, investigación y respuesta como estrategia clave dirigida a hacer efectiva la eliminación de la enfermedad y a prevenir su restablecimiento en todos los estratos. Además, el documento trata de hacer operativo el concepto de vigilancia, como intervención promovida por la Organización Mundial de la Salud a través de la Estrategia Técnica Mundial contra la Malaria 2016-2030, y destaca la importancia de que las comunidades tengan acceso al diagnóstico y el tratamiento tempranos. Por último, en el manual también se incluyen aspectos de gestión y monitoreo que deben tenerse en cuenta para la eliminación de los focos de transmisión.

All malaria-endemic countries in the Region of the Americas have taken on the challenge to eliminate the disease and to put in place measures to orient their health programs and strategies in that direction. This manual explains how to implement measures to achieve malaria elimination and prevent it...s reestablishment by increasing the intensity and quality of interventions, reorienting initiatives, reducing delays that favor transmission, and ensuring adequate monitoring to adjust interventions. In this regard, the first suggested step is to stratify the territory - so that interventions and population groups can be planned and prioritized - and then implement diagnosis, treatment, investigation and response (DTI-R) actions as a key strategy aimed at effectively eliminating the disease and preventing its reestablishment in all strata. In addition, the document seeks to operationalize the concept of "surveillance as an intervention" promoted by the World Health Organization through the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 and highlights the importance of communities having access to early diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the manual also includes management and monitoring aspects that must be taken into account to eliminate the foci with transmission.
