Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Communication
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Vector-borne diseases like Zika, chikungunya, and dengue pose significant public health challenges.
  • Effective social communication campaigns are crucial for disease prevention and control.
  • Evaluating the economic impact and effectiveness of public health spending is essential for resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze public spending by the Ministry of Health on social communication initiatives for vector-borne disease prevention campaigns.
  • To assess the impact and outcomes of these communication campaigns.
  • To identify areas for improvement in public spending efficiency and transparency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 690 social communication service contracts from 2015-2017.
  • Inclusion of data associated with two epidemiological emergency declarations (EE-2-2015 and EE-1-2016).
  • Review of public spending and campaign outcomes.

Main Results:

  • A weak evaluation of public spending impact was identified.
  • Insufficient evidence exists to link social communication spending with campaign effectiveness and achievement.
  • Publicly available spending data exists, but transparency and traceability are lacking.

Conclusions:

  • Recommendations are proposed for monitoring, transparency, and efficiency of public expenditure.
  • Enhanced mechanisms for transparency, contract traceability, and campaign impact evaluation are necessary.
  • Improved accountability in public health communication spending is crucial for better outcomes.
