Friday, 18 July 2008 |
Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, which prevents deaths and hospital admissions across all ages of individuals with HIV infection in resource-limited countries, is cheap. Economic research in adults in Uganda, and more recently in children in Zambia, has shown that Cotrimoxazole is highly costeffective. Specific research in Zambia has even found that it could be cost saving: if all HIV-infected children in Zambia received Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, the net effect could be savings to the health system in the range of US$2.9 - 9.6 million per year.
