Peer review and consumer rights: strengthening regulation as a means of improving quality and access to health care in Tanzania and Zimbabwe

Objectif

Health systems regulation is crucial in improving health outcomes from private sector activity. Regulation is ineffective in low-income countries due to limited regulatory capacity and knowledge by patients of their rights. The research focuses on non-state groups who can influence the performance of private activity through less formal non-legislation approaches in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. The research implements a mutely-faceted consumer-peer controlled intervention trial, to strengthen regulatory effectiveness for private pharmacies and improve access to, quality and appropriate use of diarrhoeal drugs among poor women and their communities. Results include evidence on effectiveness, costs, cost-effectiveness, development of guidelines and strategies for replication, and indicators for monitoring of regulation in the broader health system.
