Abstract

The adoption of the Millennium Development Goals-coupled with the recent rise in international aid for health-has catalyzed interest in improving the science of scale-up [1].Global health researchers have realized the need for ''a quantitative, scientific framework to guide health-care scale-up in developing countries'' [2], a need that has begun to draw the attention of donors [3].Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) have begun to study effective ways to deliver proven interventions at scale [4,5].Thus, there are promising signs that a ''science of large-scale change in global health'' is emerging [5].In this Essay, I draw upon key themes in this emerging science to propose a framework for explaining successful scale-up.This framework is aimed at planners of scale-up processes to use in thinking about strategies for implementing a new program, policy, or intervention to scale.The term ''scaling up'' is now widely used in the public health literature, but there is no agreed definition.The term is primarily used, say Mangham and Hanson, to describe ''the ambition or process of expanding the coverage of health interventions '' [6], a working definition that I use in this article.The Essay section contains opinion pieces on topics of broad interest to a general medical audience.

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.
