At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Weak disease surveillance and immunization systems are prevalent in many countries.
  • Polio eradication presents a unique opportunity to repurpose existing infrastructure and personnel for broader public health goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of expanding Nepal's polio eradication program on disease surveillance and immunization for other vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing polio program assets for strengthening national health systems.

Main Methods:

  • Active surveillance for measles, neonatal tetanus, Japanese encephalitis, and rubella was integrated into the polio program's existing system starting in 2003 and expanded in 2004.
  • Polio program staff actively supported government immunization policies, vaccination campaigns, and training in reporting and vaccine management.
  • The program facilitated the introduction of six new vaccines and secured funding from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

Main Results:

  • By 2014, surveillance activities expanded to 299 sites for measles, rubella, and neonatal tetanus, with 132 sentinel sites for Japanese encephalitis.
  • Significant improvements in vaccination coverage for other vaccine-preventable diseases were observed.
  • Program staff played a crucial role in responding to various health events and strengthening overall health system capacity.

Conclusions:

  • Expanding the polio eradication program significantly enhanced Nepal's disease surveillance and immunization capabilities.
  • Sustained donor support, collaboration with the Expanded Programme on Immunization, and retaining a skilled workforce were critical success factors.
