Costing the National Strategic Plan on Prevention and Control of Cervical Cancer: Mongolia, 2020-2024

Overview

Resulting from a collaboration between the Mongolia Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), this document provides a summary report of the 5-year (2020—2024) National Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Plan in terms of financial costs from the public provider perspective. Financial costs (also referred to as “bookkeeping costs”) are the value of resources to the Ministry of Health and include the cost of actual resources purchased to develop and implement the national programme and involve actual monetary payments (or expenditures). The majority of costs were calculated using the OneHealth Tool. Supplemental costs of service provision and annualized equipment purchase, which are not captured in the OneHealth Tool, were calculated manually. All costs are reported in 2019 United States (US) dollars. The OneHealth Tool is a planning aid and provides globally standardized input quantities and costs for recommended cancer control interventions. Users may also enter local data, but as a detailed costing study for Mongolia was outside the scope of this report, most unit costs used in this report are default values included in the OneHealth Tool. Technical notes on costing methodology can be found in the Annex.
