Additional Information
African Health Markets for Equity (AHME) to deliver high quality basic healthcare through the private sector and targeted at the poor in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya. AHME seeks to improve supply of regulated private health care providers and to remove financial and other barriers to access (demand) by poor people. AHME involves regulation and policy engagement with Ministries of Health and health professional organisations. The aim is to improve the functioning of the whole health system in ways that benefit the poor, in terms of value for money, quality, access, security of supply, sustainability and equity. It is jointly funded by DFID and BMGF, and implemented by a consortium led by Marie Stopes International (MSI). There is also an independent evaluation of AHME being undertaken by Innovations for Poverty Action and University of California Berkeley. (Africa, regional 201101-112 HANSHEP p.4)
