Abstract Background This study aimed at providing information for priority setting in the health care sector of Zimbabwe as well as assessing the efficiency of resource use. A general approach proposed by the World Bank involving the estimation of the burden of disease measured in Disability-Adjusted Life Years DALYs and calculation of cost-effectiveness ratios for a large number of health interventions was followed.

Effectiveness of health interventions was estimated based on published information on
