This report draws from the Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project in Kenya, a multi-pronged and multi-country research collaboration focused on understanding what drives and hinders health service provision. Results include the following:
• Assessing the capacity of health facilities to provide services across different levels of care, such as physical infrastructure; human resources for health; and stocks of medicines and functional equipment
• Comparing patient reports of their experiences at facilities, including wait time for care, interactions with providers, and expenses incurred during their visit
• Tracking trends in patient volumes and spending across facility types
• Quantifying the relationship between facility resources and production of services
• Estimating facility costs associated with different types of services, with an expanded section on facility costs of HIV/AIDS care
• Examining characteristics of facility-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs
