Calculating the Costs and Impacts of Male Circumcision: Decision Makers' Program Planning Tool (DMPPT) and Policy Briefs
Male circumcision has been shown to reduce sexual transmission of HIV from infected women to their male partners. The Decision Maker's Program Planning Tool (DMPPT) enables the user to calculate the cost of male circumcision services by delivery mode based on clinical guidelines and locally derived information about staff time and salaries, supplies, equipment, and shared facility and staff costs. It also helps users calculate the net cost per HIV infection averted as a function of the number of male circumcisions performed for each service delivery and coverage timeframe option. The results presented in this brief overview and in the 14 country-specific briefs illustrate one of several possible scenarios; the scenarios can be modified to reflect a variety of possible policies at the country level.
