The book investigates treatment seeking behavior and
the potential of encouraging effective treatment with
prepayment schemes as a strategy in the control of
malaria. Early detection, prompt and effective
treatment are still the most effective ways of
managing malaria in most endemic areas but all these
means are hindered by scarcity of resources. Low
health care expenditure in many developing countries
is associated with limited tax revenue and budget
stringencies. User charges have undesirable equity
effects and debt financing is unsustainable. The
above suggest a need for alternative approach to
financing health care in general and to financing
preventive diseases in particular to reduce their
burden. This book shed light on household malaria
treatment seeking behavior and the factors affecting
the choice of treatment options under a user fees
scheme as well as ex ante demand for malaria care
under a prepayment scheme. Thisbook should be useful
to anyone interested in understanding the social and
economic aspects of malaria and the potential
benefits of using financing policies towards the
control of malaria as well as other tropical diseases
in developing countries.
