A PowerPoint Presentation from CHAI aimed at the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, making a case for a new treatment policy for arvophillia
1. A Quantitative Analysis of the two treatments to estimate cost per life saved in Zachistan using the new treatment option; please show all your calculations, assumptions and outcomes clearly using Microsoft Excel; cost per life saved is defined as:
Δ $s/ Δ Lives
Δ $s : Additional dollars spent using clairadol instead of huffstatin
Δ Lives: Additional lives saved using clairadol instead of using huffstatin
The following calculations need to be performed to arrive at the final number:
– Number of cases of severe arvophillia (in each age category)
– Cost of drugs and other consumables (under each treatment protocol)
– Total number of lives saved
– Extra cost per additional life saved
2. A PowerPoint Presentation from CHAI aimed at the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, making a case for a new treatment policy for arvophillia. Use the case study as well as outcomes from the quantitative analysis to make a strong argument; kindly keep the number of slides to no more than 5. The following can be used as the broad themes for each slide:
– Articulation of the problem within the context of Republic of Zachistan: 1 slide
– Key background for the new treatment protocol: 1 – 2 slides
– Comparative analysis of the treatment protocols and final recommendation: 1 – 2 slides
– Next steps to be followed: 1 slide
3. A One-Page Memo from CHAI to the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, summarizing clearly the case for the new treatment policy. The following points need to be addressed in the memo:
– The challenge: Disease profile in the country, current treatment protocol and the drawbacks thereof
– The solution: Key facts about the new treatment protocol
– Justification: Persuasive arguments for updating the current treatment guidelines

Dear Candidate:
This exercise consists of a case study of two treatment options for a disease called Arvophillia* and introduction of the newer treatment option in a country called Zachistan*. Based on the details provided in the case study, kindly provide:
1. A Quantitative Analysis of the two treatments to estimate cost per life saved in Zachistan using the new treatment option; please show all your calculations, assumptions and outcomes clearly using Microsoft Excel; cost per life saved is defined as:
Δ $s/ Δ Lives
Δ $s : Additional dollars spent using clairadol instead of huffstatin
Δ Lives: Additional lives saved using clairadol instead of using huffstatin
The following calculations need to be performed to arrive at the final number:
· Number of cases of severe arvophillia (in each age category)
· Cost of drugs and other consumables (under each treatment protocol)
· Total number of lives saved
· Extra cost per additional life saved
2. A PowerPoint Presentation from CHAI aimed at the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, making a case for a new treatment policy for arvophillia. Use the case study as well as outcomes from the quantitative analysis to make a strong argument; kindly keep the number of slides to no more than 5. The following can be used as the broad themes for each slide:
· Articulation of the problem within the context of Republic of Zachistan: 1 slide
· Key background for the new treatment protocol: 1 – 2 slides
· Comparative analysis of the treatment protocols and final recommendation: 1 – 2 slides
· Next steps to be followed: 1 slide
3. A One-Page Memo from CHAI to the Ministry of Health, Zachistan, summarizing clearly the case for the new treatment policy. The following points need to be addressed in the memo:
· The challenge: Disease profile in the country, current treatment protocol and the drawbacks thereof
· The solution: Key facts about the new treatment protocol
· Justification: Persuasive arguments for updating the current treatment guidelines
The total time allocated for this exercise is no more than 3 hours. We recommend you plan to spend the following time on each part of this exercise:
· Reading case study & collating information: 25 to 30 minutes
· Quantitative analysis: 75 to 90 minutes
· Presentation: 30 to 35 minutes
· Memo: 20 to 25 minutes
This case needs to be solved using the information and data provided. As mentioned earlier, the case uses fictitious names so no outside sources or research is required (or needs to be used). If necessary, make assumptions and please report them distinctly.
Best of Luck.
