Figure 1.
Change in annual per-patient cost for established adult ART patients as a function of site maturity and patient volume.
Panel A shows annual HIV treatment cost as a function of site maturity. Panel B shows annual HIV treatment cost as a function of patient volume. HIV treatment costs represent annual economic costs of site-level service delivery in 2010 US dollars, excluding ARVs and national/regional overhead costs. Changes in per-patient costs calculated from a regression of per-patient costs against proximal cost determinants. Each panel shows the consequence of change in a single determinant, holding all other determinants at their mean values.
Figure 2.
Change in annual per-patient cost for established adult ART patients as a function of per-capita GDP.
HIV treatment costs represent economic costs of site-level service delivery in 2010 US dollars, excluding ARVs and national/regional overhead costs. Changes in per-patient costs calculated from a regression of per-patient costs against proximal cost determinants. The plot shows the consequence of changes in per-capita GDP, holding all other determinants at their mean values. Overplotted country-level estimates: ETH = Ethiopia, MOZ = Mozambique, UGA = Uganda, VIE = Vietnam, NIG = Nigeria, BOT = Botswana.
Figure 3.
Average annual per-patient HIV treatment costs, by patient type.
HIV treatment costs represent economic costs of site-level service delivery in 2010 US dollars, excluding ARVs and national/regional overhead costs. Cost estimates calculated from a regression of per-patient costs against proximal cost determinants. In figure, diamond signifies point estimate, length of bars signifies 95% confidence interval.
