Optimising the introduction of multiple childhood vaccines in Japan: A model proposing the introduction sequence achieving the highest health gains
Quite a high number of new vaccines have been introduced into the global healthcare programme during the past 15 years. Among them vaccines against Streptococcus pneumonia, rotavirus, human papillomavirus, Neisseria meningitides, varicella zoster virus (responsible for herpes zoster), dengue, and new ones against influenza viruses [1], are now in the market, but others against malaria and Ebola are coming soon [2].

Rethinking informal payments by patients in Europe: An institutional approach
Over the last two decades or so, a growing literature reveals how patients in many countries around the world, particularly in the former communist countries and other low and middle income countries, use informal payments to seek either better treatment [1 –6], an additional service [7], due to their fear of being denied treatment [5,8], because the “doctor demanded payment” [4], because there is a tradition of giving a gift to express gratitude [4,5,9] or just “because everybody does it” [4].

Shelter from the Storm: Roles, responsibilities, and challenges in United States housing policy governance
Housing is a critical social determinant of health, an upstream factor that affects health outcomes both acutely and long term in many ways. Housing quality, affordability, and housing insecurity all contribute to health issues. For example: high lead levels in housing across the United States exposed four million households with children to high lead concentrations [1,2]. Half a million of the children exposed to lead, have blood lead levels high enough to harm their intelligence, behavior, and development [1,2]. (Source: Health Policy)

Insurees ’ preferences in hospital choice—A population-based study
Germany has one of the highest hospital bed densities in the world (8.2 per 1000 inhabitants) [1] spread across a total number of 1956 hospitals [2]. Unlike other countries, a distribution plan for patients does not exist [3]. Germany therefore provides the choice between several hospitals to most of its citizens in case of need. Whereas financial issues on the side of the patient do not play a major role in this decision (due to a mandatory health insurance system for every German citizen or permanent resident) there may be grave differences in quality and efficiency between health care providers [4].
