CALL FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICE

A national consultant to conduct an analysis of cost-effectiveness

of HIV viral load testing services

I

Background:
The global LHSS project helps low
- and middle-income countries transition to sustainable, self-funded health finance systems that support high-performing overall health systems. The LHSS activity in Vietnam will work with the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to advance greater local ownership of HIV and TB prevention and control. Led by Abt Associates, the four-year activity will support Vietnam in increasing its domestic financing for HIV and TB services in the context of declining donor funding, using government resources more efficiently, and assuming local ownership of HIV and TB prevention and control activities.

Specific objectives are:
(1) Support the GVN to strengthen its public financial management systems for public sector health and find greater efficiencies in social health insurance (SHI), (2) Increase and improve the efficiency of domestic financing of HIV prevention and treatment services; (3) Strengthen the capacity of Vietnam's supply chain management system; and (4) Transition of TB services into SHI.


Viral load tests for HIV are currently provided at health facilities where PLHIV receive ARV treatment or outsourced to certified laboratories either in the same localities or outside the provinces/cities which requires the transportation of specimens.

Per the recent USAID visits to USAID's supported provinces, it was noticed that most provinces wanted to provide HIV viral load tests at laboratories inside the provinces.

In order to help optimize the provincial VL testing network, USAID requested LHSS to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of VL tests performed on the testing machines placed at provincial CDCs, provincial hospitals, and health facilities.

This analysis would help inform the provincial's decision of either maintaining the current VL test provision network or making further investments in expanding it.

The analysis will target 14 laboratories having VL testing machines in five USAID-supported provinces namely Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Tien Giang, and Quang Ninh.
