Health Systems Research Projects
In addition to building the capacity of Ministry of Health staff to conduct health systems research, we also support specific research projects that explore questions of interest to our Ministry partners. These projects help governments to understand how services are being delivered, where breakdowns may be occurring, or how innovations can be scaled up throughout the public-sector health system.
Topic areas include:
- Integration of specific services into primary health care
- Health workforce innovations
- Management of patient flow
