Strengthening Health System Foundations
Strengthening Health System Foundations
Our people-centered approach ensures that those with whom we work are the drivers of progress and will lead their own way to optimal, equitable, and quality health systems.
We strengthen health systems as a means of addressing key health challenges, achieving universal health coverage, and ultimately improving population health. We improve health system functions through policy and practice changes that increase access, coverage, quality, and/or efficiency of health services, leading to better health outcomes in the countries where we work.
Systems Thinking for Health
We put systems thinking into practice to strengthen health systems.
Data, Health Information, and Measurement
We bring data to bear on every decision.
Primary Health Care
We provide integrated, whole-person care for health needs.
Human Resources for Health
We help countries develop the right training, tools, and resources needed for a successful health workforce.
Leadership, Management, and Governance
Our programmatic work consistently demonstrates that investments in improved management, leadership, and governance produce tangible results and impact on health.
Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain Management
We improve access to medicines and people-centered services through strong global health supply chains.
Health Care Financing
We work with countries to allocate financial resources for health and increase access to quality services through evidence-based and sustainable health financing strategies.
Product and Health Technology Optimizations
We ensure that countries have the tools to determine the value of health technologies to promote an equitable and efficient health system.
