Yet, in many low and middle-income countries, including Malawi, there is a dearth of information about user's experiences of outpatient mental health care services, and little is known about which factors might affect user satisfaction.Aim The aim of the present work was to evaluate user satisfaction with outpatient mental health services in southern Malawi and to explore whether social demographic variables, mental health status, and treatment characteristics explain variance in user satisfaction.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in Malawi at one urban (Blantyre) and one rural (Thyolo) outpatient psychiatric clinics.

The economic evaluation was conducted from a UK NHS and personal social services (PSS) perspective, with a 20-year time horizon, comparing RFA with APC. Patients transfer between health states defined by haemoglobin level. The clinical effectiveness data were sourced from expert opinion, resource use and costs were reflective
