Running the paediatric oncology unit at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital cost about 361 US dollars per disability-adjusted life year averted, which the authors judged cost-effective, and they recommended reassessing the low and medium priority that Ethiopia's essential package gives childhood cancer treatment.
A decision-tree model compared running a paediatric oncology unit with no paediatric oncology care, from a healthcare provider perspective, using 2018 to 2019 costing of the unit at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital and outcome data from similar settings, over a lifetime horizon with 3% discounting. The willingness-to-pay threshold used was 50% of Ethiopia's GDP per capita, 477 US dollars in 2019.
Evidence written to inform Ethiopia's next revision of its essential health services package, which ranks childhood cancer treatment at low and medium priority.
