Investment cases have justified investments in a growing number of global health needs, from HIV/AIDS to NCDs.
“investment cases have justified investments in a growing number of global health needs, from HIV/AIDS to NCDs.7”
From Advancing progress on tobacco control in low-income and middle-income countries through economic analysis (2024) · cites this paper as [7]
The Country investment cases section (page unavailable) says investment cases provide evidence to request increased NCD funding and justification for development partners to invest. Our copy does not establish the broader claim that investment cases have justified funding across a growing range of needs, including HIV/AIDS. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
