摘要：Background Integrated community case management (iCCM) can be an effective strategy for expanding the provision of diarrhea, pneu- monia, and malaria services to children under 5 years old but there are concerns in some countries about the corresponding cost and impact.This paper presents and compares findings from a multi– country analysis of iCCM program costs.Methods Data on coverage, utilization, and costs were collected as part of two sets of studies conducted between 2011 and 2013 for iCCM programs in seven sub–Saharan African countries: Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Senegal, Sierra Le- one, South Sudan and Zambia.The data were used to compare some elements of program performance as well as costs per capita and costs per service (which are key indicators of resource allocation and efficiency).
