Summary NAA 2000-2003 HIV/AIDS expenditure increased significantly, 38% in nominal
term in 2000-2003 Expense per PHA was high compared to other developing
countries, Foresee increasing trend of expenditure per PHA due to
mature ART program and OI cost saving does not keep pace to offset ART expenditures
ART and OI treatment took the lion share, 78% in 2003 need to revisit program effectiveness
Public is the major source, increasing role of GF in 2003 observed, attention on financial sustainability
In the ART era, decreasing trend of spending on prevention observed, in term of percentage of Total Expenditure on HIV/AIDS

Financing sources of ART program Largest source: National Access to ARV for PHA (NAPHA, MOPH
Budget + GF) – main features Program start up–training of cadres of HCW Central purchasing ARV (mostly generic ARV), lab reagent, flow cytometer.
Allocation of non-labour operating to MOPH healthcare systems. Other sources
Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme Social Health Insurance OOP by households
NAPHA Provides non-labour operating, labour operating expenditure was mostly
cross-subsidized by UC budget and other sources of revenue ART integrated with existing healthcare systems (mostly public rural
district hospitals with referral for laboratory monitoring to Provincial hosp) First line drug regimens for NAPHA, with limited 2nd line for ATC
participants GPO Vir FDC (D4 T3+ TC + Nevirapine): 1 , 200 Baht or 30 USD/month D4 T, 3TC, Efavirenz: 3 , 000 Baht or 75USD/month) D4 T, 3TC, Boosted PI (Indinavir +Ritonavir): 4 , 500 Bah or 113USD/month

Summary financing ART
NAPHA implemented in 2002, when some 10,000 PHA were on triple drugs (ATC, CSMBS, SHI and OOP) for several years and mostly required 2nd line drugs.
But NAPHA offers only first line drugs in 2002 One 2nd line can purchase 7-10 1st line – affordability
problem Initially, NAPHA offers to most PHA who did not access
ART (naïve cases)– equity considerations for those who were already on ART for some years (and required 2nd line regimen)
This results in high OOP in ART program

5. Summary

Lessons learned Context
ART introduced in a mature comprehensive HIV program Major determinants of adoption of universal access to ART
Government affordability due to low cost generic ARV Health systems readiness and capacity to scale up rapidly, now
more than 80% coverage of eligible PHA, to date >70,000 on ART in >600 sites of District and provincial hospitals, and other centres
District and provincial hospitals are major hubs of ART delivery Key program configurations
After ART enrolment, free at point of service, prior recruit --expenses on CD4 shouldered by PHA
NAPHA provide first line drugs for most PHA not access, and limited second line for ATC participants
Result in significant role of OOP in ART ART (not allow 2nd line drugs) is cost effective
If judged from 1 GNI per capita for one life year gain
31
Current and future challenges Demand side
Ensure early recruit for better outcome Ensure adherence and prevent dis-inhibition behaviour Minimize stigma, provide job opportunities and economic productivity
among ART enrolees Supply side
Economic growth, internal brain drain from public to private, fortunately international brain drain is not a serious problem!!
Universal Coverage increased significant workload and tension, burn-out
HCW home visit for lose to follow up ART enrolees ARV paediatric formulation—pipe line production by GPO Strengthening IT and MIS, survival probability and forecast prevalence
of PHA enrolee financial project, MTEF and resource mobilization Financing
Ensure longest durability of 1st line regimens, honey-moon period should be >5 years
Future decisions on public funded second line regimens and salvage treatment?
Maintain high level of prevention spending in ART era

More evidences needed in future
2nd line drugs Cost, toxicity and outcome (CEA, ICER of adding 2nd to the 1st line
regimens) Budget impact analysis and role of co-pay and equity implications Ethical dimension Health systems capacity to handle 2nd line drugs including lab
capacity Associated cost of lab monitoring (VL not CD4) for failure of
treatment in order to early switch to 2nd line Multi-site vigilance of resistance
In order to stimulate demand and early enrolment Demand for VCT among general population and high risk group Demand for ART among asymptomatic HIV Supply side assessment of VCT – major entry point for effective
ART program Negative externality of ART
Sex behaviour surveillance among ART enrolees
