“…Trends in the burden of tuberculosis were stable, given that no statistically significant differences were found, which is in line with a study conducted in Thailand 19 and GDB estimates for 1990-2020 22 . Another study conducted in Santa Catarina on mortality analysis between 2002 and 2009 showed two distinct trends: first, a reduction by 5.9% in mortality rate per year, between 2002-2007, and second, a non-significant increase by 2% annually, between 2007-2009 5 .…”

“…Within 1992-2002, the burden of tuberculosis in Serbia generated the following rates: 0.094 YLD/1,000 inhabitants, 0.864 YLL/1,000 inhabitants, and 0.958 DALY/1,000 inhabitants 18 . In Thailand, tuberculosis accounted for 1.4% of overall DALY in 2009 19 . In Mexico, tuberculosis ranked 18 among the causes of premature death in 1990 (1.2% of total YLL), and 26 in 2010 20 , which represents a significant drop in the ranking of burden-generating DALY: disability-adjusted life years; YLL: years of life lost; YLD: years lived with disability.…”

“…For example, Troeger et al ( 2018 ) note that while the mortality of the elderly population remains largely unchanged in Brazil and India, the number of deaths caused by lower respiratory infection among people aged 70 and older has increased dramatically since 1990 in these two nations, even exceeding the growing speed of the size of the population of this age group over the same period, reflecting an increase in both mortality and the number of deaths caused by RID for the elderly. Similarly, several studies indicate that the mortality from specific RID, such as tuberculosis, has been rising in some countries, such as Thailand and Bangladesh, against the overall declining trend in disease burden of infectious diseases in these countries (Ahsan Karar et al, 2009 ; Aungkulanon et al, 2013 ). More importantly, Armstrong et al ( 1999 ) report that the long-term declining trend in mortality from infectious diseases, which is a remarkable success in infectious disease prevention and control, has been reversed in the US, partly because of the increasing disease burden of RID, primarily driven by the growing mortality from pneumonia and influenza among people aged 65 and older since the 1980s.…”

Understanding of the patterns of and changes in mortality from respiratory infectious diseases (RID) and its contribution to loss of life expectancy (LE) is inadequate in the existing literature. With rapid sociodemographic changes globally, and the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is timely to revisit the disease burden of RID. Using the approaches of life table and cause-eliminated life table based on data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), the study analyses loss of LE due to RID in 195 countries/territories and its changes during the period 1990-2017. Results indicate that loss of LE due to RID stood at 1.29 years globally in 2017 globally and varied widely by age, gender, and geographic location, with men, elderly people, and populations in middle/low income countries/territories suffering a disproportionately high loss of LE due to RID. Additionally, loss of LE due to RID decreased remarkably by 0.97 years globally during the period 1990-2017 but increased slightly among populations older than 70 years and in many high income countries/territories. Results suggest that RID still pose a severe threat for population and public health, and that amid dramatic sociodemographic changes globally, the disease burden of RID may resurge. The study presents the first examination of the life-shortening effect of RID at the global and country/territory levels, providing new understanding of the changing disease burden of RID and shedding light on the potential consequences of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Thailand’s HIV/AIDS program after weaning-off the global fund’s support

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Though 85% of financing HIV/AIDS program was domestic resources, Global Fund (GF) programs played a significant role in prevention interventions and treatment for non-Thai Key Affected Populations (KAP) and migrants. As upper-middle income country, Thailand is not eligible for GF support. This study identified the remaining challenges and funding for prevention interventions for Thai and non-Thai KAP and migrants if GF supports were to curtail. Methods:Qualitative method was applied including document review and in-depth interviews of 21 key informants who were Principal Recipients, Sub-recipients, provincial level program implementers and policy makers in health financing agencies. A multi-stakeholder consultation workshop was convened to discuss recommendations. Results:The "public financed public services model" where Principal and Agents were the same entities resulted in less accountability than the "contractual agreement" in GF programs where the Principal Recipients, as the Agents were more accountable to the GF as Principal through results based financing. If GF supports were to curtail, impacts on the current programs would be varied from low to high degree of negative consequences. Scale down the scope and targets, while keeping the most critical components were common coping mechanisms. All three, except one, Principal Recipients had difficulties in fund mobilization. Prevention among non-Thai KAP and migrants were identified as the remaining challenge. Conclusions: A pooled funding mechanism from multiple domestic sources was proposed. Replacing the conventional public-financed-public-service by a contractual model was preferable. The GF should continue funding the non-Thai KAP and migrant as transition mechanism. Multi-countries or regional programs especially at the border areas were priorities.
