    Abstract Background: Costing of resources helps to measure financial implications and effective utilization of resources of national programs. As there is limited evidence about cost per service, current study was done to assess the cost of services under National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) at Community Health Centres (CHCs) and Primary Health Centres (PHCs) of northern state of India.
    Material and methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in two districts and from each district eight CHCs and PHCs were randomly selected.
    Results: Mean annual cost of providing NTEP services at CHCs and PHCs were US$5243.1 (95%CI: 3008.0-7225.4) and US$1031.9 (95%CI: 669.1-1447.1) respectively. Across both centres human resource contributes to the most (CHC: 72.9%; PHC: 85.9%). One way sensitivity analysis was carried out for all health facilities and observed that human resource cost influences most cost per treated case by providing services under NTEP. Although relatively very less but cost of drugs also influences cost per treatment.
    Conclusion: Cost of delivering services was high for CHCs as compared to PHCs. At both types of health facilities, human resource contributes the most to cost of delivering services under the program.

    Abstract Background and objective: Androgen-deprivation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, the intensification of treatment with either docetaxel or novel anti-androgens (abiraterone-acetate plus prednisone [AAP], enzalutamide, and apalutamide) is being recommended based on the improved clinical outcomes and quality of life among patients. This study aimed to determine the most cost-effective drug for treatment intensification for patients with mHSPC in India.
    Methods: A Markov model was developed with four health states: progression-free survival, progressive disease, best supportive care, and death. Lifetime costs and consequences were estimated for four treatment sequences: AAP-first, enzalutamide-first, apalutamide-first, and docetaxel-first. Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained with a given treatment option was compared against the next best alternative and assessed for cost effectiveness using a willingness to pay threshold of 1 × per capita gross domestic product in India.
    Results: We estimated that the total lifetime cost per patient was ₹1,367,454 (US$17,487), ₹2,168,885 (US$27,735), ₹7,678,501 (US$98,190), and ₹1,358,746 (US$17,375) in the AAP-first, enzalutamide-first, apalutamide-first, and docetaxel-first treatment sequence, respectively. The mean quality-adjusted life-years lived per patient were 4.78, 5.03, 3.22, and 2.61, respectively. The AAP-first sequence incurs an incremental cost of ₹4014 (US$51) per quality-adjusted life-year gained as compared with the docetaxel-first sequence, with a 87% probability of being cost effective at the willingness-to-pay threshold of 1 × per-capita gross domestic product of India. The use of AAP-first also incurs an incremental net monetary benefit of ₹396,491 (US$5070) as compared with the docetaxel-first treatment sequence. Nearly a 48% reduction in the price of enzalutamide is required to make it a cost-effective treatment sequence as compared with AAP-first in India.
    Conclusions: We concur with the inclusion of standard-dose AAP in India's publicly financed health insurance scheme for the intensification of treatment in mHSPC as it is the only cost-effective sequence among the various novel anti-androgens when compared with the docetaxel-first treatment sequence. Furthermore, a systematic reduction in the price of enzalutamide would further help to improve clinical outcomes among patients with mHSPC.

    Abstract Post-independence, we made significant strides in childhood survival. However, there is an abysmal improvement in survival due to birth defects. Globally, India contributes the largest proportion of under-5 deaths, overall as well as due to birth defects. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the single most common cause of birth-defect related deaths, and is the 7th most common cause of infant deaths. Scarcity of pediatric cardiac care professionals and pediatric cardiac centers has led to a huge demand-supply gap. Understanding the burden of CHD and taking imperative steps at primary, secondary and tertiary levels are essential during Amrit Kaal (2022-2047). Coverage of management of CHD under Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram, Rashtriya Bal Suraksha Karyakram and Ayushman Bharat programs offers a huge promise, as shown by the experience from Hridayam program in Kerala.

    Abstract Background: Higher taxes are the single most effective way to encourage tobacco users to quit tobacco use and prevent youth from initiation.
    Objectives: The present study aims to estimate the effect of raising the tax on smoked tobacco products on its consumption and smoking-attributable deaths in India.
    Materials and methods: A mathematical model was developed which used the projected population of India, taxation rates on smoked tobacco products, smoking prevalence, and price elasticity of demand of cigarette and bidi from 2017 to 2025. Four scenarios of tax increment (0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) on smoked tobacco products were created which were modeled to calculate smoking prevalence and smoking-attributable deaths due to respiratory diseases, heart diseases, stroke tuberculosis, and cancer in country till 2025.
    Results: A relative decrease of 6.2% in the prevalence of smoking was observed between the existing tax rates and its increment to 100% over the last increment of 6%. Similarly, smoking-attributable deaths (SAD) decreased by 6.04% on increasing the tax rates to 100% of the existing taxation rates. There has been a steady increase in SAD in scenario 1 which decreases effectively in scenario 4, which in turn leads to the saving of around 33,000 lives due to tobacco-related diseases by 2025.
    Conclusion: The consumption of cigarettes and bidis can be reduced by raising the price of these products. The model will help policymakers in deciding to fix the tax and ultimately the price of cigarettes and bidi to reduce its consumption and smoking-attributable mortality.

    Abstract Purpose: Denosumab is clinically superior to zoledronic acid (ZA) for preventing and delaying time to first and subsequent skeletal-related events (SREs) among patients with breast cancer (BC) with bone metastases. We evaluated the cost and health benefits of denosumab and ZA (once every 4 weeks and once every 12 weeks) among four different molecular subtypes of BC with bone metastases in India.
    Materials and methods: A Markov model was developed in Microsoft Excel to estimate lifetime health consequences and resulting costs among cohort of 1,000 patients with BC with bone metastasis, for three intervention scenarios, namely denosumab (once every 4 weeks), ZA (once every 4 weeks), and ZA (once every 12 weeks). The health outcomes were measured in terms of SREs averted and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained. The cost of each intervention scenario was measured using both the health system and the patient's perspectives. Indirect costs because of lost productivity were not included. The future costs and outcomes were discounted at the standard rate of 3%.
    Results: Over a lifetime, the incremental number of SREs averted with use of denosumab once every 4 weeks (compared with ZA once every 4 weeks and once every 12 weeks) among patients with luminal A, luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-enriched, and triple negative breast cancer were estimated as 0.39, 0.26, 0.25, and 0.19, respectively. The number of QALYs lived were slightly higher in the denosumab arm (1.45-2.80) compared with ZA once every 4 weeks and once every 12 weeks arms (1.44-2.78). However, denosumab once every 4 weeks was not found to be a cost-effective alternative for either of the four molecular subtypes of breast cancer. ZA once every 12 weeks was found to be a cost-effective option with an average cost-effectiveness ratio ranging between ₹68,254 and ₹73,636.
    Conclusion: ZA once every 12 weeks is the cost-effective treatment option for BC with bone metastases in India. The present study findings hold significance for standard treatment guidelines under India's government-funded health insurance program.
