Abstract 52 Background: Despite the high burden of pediatric cancer in low- and middle-income countries, the number of facilities at which children can obtain treatment remains distressingly low. Understanding the costs and economic value of pediatric cancer treatment may assist policy makers to maximize the value of investments in health with informed resource allocation decisions. We examined the direct and indirect costs, cost-effectiveness, and societal economic benefit of diagnosing and treating children with cancer in Tanzania at the Bugando Medical Center, one of only two hospitals in the country with a pediatric oncology unit. Methods: A retrospective chart review of hospital admissions and clinic visits from January 2010 to August 2014 was performed. Costs were recorded for all items that were billed to the patient for laboratory studies, medications, imaging, pathology, surgeries, and hospital stay. Travel costs were estimated for each patient on the basis of a self-reported home address. All costs were converted from Tanzanian shillings to 2016 US dollars. Health outcomes were measured as disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted. We calculated the cost-effectiveness ratio of treatment versus performing no intervention as well as the societal economic benefit using a human capital approach and considering the per capita gross national product in Tanzania. Results: We identified costs for a subset of 127 patients, 64% of which were male (n = 81). Mean age at first clinical presentation was 6.9 years. Mean cost for treatment was $218 ± $145, with an average of 10.4 ± 8.9 DALYs averted per patient. Total cost-effectiveness ratio was $21/DALY, and the mean societal economic benefit was $27,118 ± $23,412. Conclusion: Our findings show that pediatric cancer treatment in Tanzania is cost-effective and offers substantial economic value.
