Estimating Costs to Provide Fistula Services in Nigeria and Ethiopia: Key Findings
This summary of studies carried out in Nigeria and Ethiopia introduces a cost analysis tool to assist facility managers in assessing the costs for fistula repair services, which could then help them make decisions about resource allocation. Measuring, understanding, and documenting the costs of services can help managers improve the cost-efficiency of services and demonstrate funding needs to facilities, governments, and donors. Analyzing financial inputs is an important step in increasing the institutional and financial sustainability of fistula services.
