of human capital (or net output) analytical framework was applied to monetarily
value DALYs lost from 166 diseases and injuries. The
monetary value of each of the 166 diseases (or injuries) was obtained through
multiplication of the net 2019 GDP per capita for Kenya by the number of DALYs lost from
each specific cause. Where net GDP per capita was calculated by subtracting current health expenditure from
the GDP per capita.
The DALYs data for the 166 causes were from IHME (Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network, 2018), GDP per capita data from the International Monetary Fund world economic outlook database (International Monetary Fund, 2019), and the current health expenditure per person data from the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database (World Health Organization, 2019b). A model consisting of fourteen equations was calculated with Excel Software developed by Microsoft (New York).
