Country: Jordan Source: International Rescue Committee Please refer to the attached file. SummaryIn 2022 and 2023, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) provided health services at the IRC clinic in Za’atari refugee camp to meet the health needs of the refugee population. The IRC analyzed the cost-efficiency of health services for communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, antenatal/postnatal care, immunization, and family planning.The analysis finds that the cost-efficiency of these health services is driven by several key factors: type of health service provided, staffing, medical supplies, number of consultations, number of clients, number of couple-years of protection (CYPs), and long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) provided for family planning.This means that health services can optimize cost-efficiency by serving more clients with more consultations, increasing service provider capacity, addressing contextual barriers to access health services, considering alternative delivery modalities (e.g., community health strategies), and expanding the range of family planning methods available to choose from, including LAPMs.
