REPUBLIC OF ZACHISTAN - INTRODUCING NEW TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR SEVERE ARVOPHILLIA

1. A Quantitative Analysis of the two treatments to estimate cost per life saved in Zachistan using the new treatment option; please show all your calculations, assumptions and outcomes clearly using Microsoft Excel; cost per life saved is defined as:

Δ $s/ Δ Lives

Δ $s : Additional dollars spent using clairadol instead of huffstatin

Δ Lives: Additional lives saved using clairadol instead of using huffstatin

The following calculations need to be performed to arrive at the final number:

- Number of cases of severe arvophillia (in each age category)

- Cost of drugs and other consumables (under each treatment protocol)

- Total number of lives saved

- Extra cost per additional life saved

2.  A PowerPoint Presentation from CHAI aimed at the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, making a case for a new treatment policy for arvophillia. Use the case study as well as outcomes from the quantitative analysis to make a strong argument; kindly keep the number of slides to no more than 5. The following can be used as the broad themes for each slide:

- Articulation of the problem within the context of Republic of Zachistan: 1 slide

- Key background for the new treatment protocol: 1 - 2 slides

- Comparative analysis of the treatment protocols and final recommendation: 1 - 2 slides

- Next steps to be followed: 1 slide

3. A One-Page Memo from CHAI to the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, summarizing clearly the case for the new treatment policy. The following points need to be addressed in the memo:

- The challenge: Disease profile in the country, current treatment protocol and the drawbacks thereof

- The solution: Key facts about the new treatment protocol

- Justification: Persuasive arguments for updating the current treatment guidelines
