thanzi

The Thanzi La Mawa Project is a continuation of a Thanzi La Onse (TLO) program that was implemented from 2017 to March, 2022.

It is a modelling collaboration of the Malawi Ministry of Health and research institutions namely; Imperial College London, University College London University in UK; the Health Economics and Policy Unit (HEPU) at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS); Uganda Ministry of Health; Makerere University and the East Central and Southern Africa (ECSA) Health Community.

The Thanzi La Onse, collaboration core objective is to improve population health and reduce health inequities in Malawi, Uganda and Southern and East Africa. It aims to achieve this by developing a model of Malawi’s health care system which will reflect the health care needs of the population, the resources available (in terms of financial, human and facility resources), and how these resources are currently being deployed.

The Thanzi La Mawa project aims to sustain the effort to develop an All Disease Model which, once delivered, will allow researchers to illustrate how different resource allocation strategies will affect the provision of health care and the subsequent impact on population health, including the extent to which health interventions could be fully implemented, the health losses incurred by implementing some health care interventions and not others, as well as the losses resulting from diverting funds away from one intervention to support the implementation of another.
