Costing Analysis of Community Care Delivery

We assessed costs from a health system perspective. The unit prices of medical equipment and general consumables were taken from market prices at the time of purchase [18 ]. Annual overhead and building costs of the CCG operations were taken from financial records kept at the supporting clinics. Salaries of personnel involved in the program were collated from a publicly available salary portal [19 ]. Implementation costs related to preparation for launching the CCG intervention were tracked by the central study team and included activities like training CCG teams and developing training materials.
