The movement toward value-based care has been embraced by the public and private sectors globally (from the World Health Organization to the World Economic Forum). Yet this dialogue has largely left out the low and middle-income countries.
We launched the Leapfrog to Value report to close that gap.
The report offers a human and economic case for value-based care, highlights innovators applying value-based care principles in LMICs today, and offers a strategy for LMICs to leapfrog to value-based care.
Leapfrog to Value’s flagship report was launched at the Center for Global Development in February 2020

Key takeaways:
Achieving universal health coverage will require a paradigm shift from volume- to value-based care. Leapfrog to Value calls on donors and governments to start taking action now.
Quality of care is essential to achieving the health SDGs. Value-based care is an innovative strategy to help countries establish high quality health systems.
Countries like India, Kenya, and South Africa are beginning to experiment with value-based care. Investing in more experimentation and scaling what works will position LMICs to leapfrog their higher income peers.
Value-based care can help address 9 of the 16 million avertable deaths in LMICs per year, and can help reduce the USD 250 billion per year of waste that exists in LMIC health systems.
