Health systems strengthening


Health systems strengthening is at the heart of Health Partners International. Effective health systems are crucial for delivering health care, addressing priority health conditions, reducing maternal and child mortality and achieving the Millenium Development Goals.

 

We bring insight and experience to all aspects of system strengthening; from the nuts and bolts of organising frontline services or complex health systems to sector-wide strategies for allocating, accessing and managing resources. We are fully committed to partnership and local engagement in the process of change.
