Integration of Financing, Governance, Operations, and Capacity Building for Strengthening Health Systems

While there is growing recognition that effective governance, financing, operations, and institutional and individual capacity building are needed to strengthen health systems and achieve health results, there is little description of how these essential elements of any health system link and interrelate. Health Systems 20/20 (HS 20/20) seeks to employ these elements together in project activities where an integrated approach promises greater benefits than does focus on a single element alone. Increased use of PHN (population, health and nutrition) priority services can often be maximized if these elements are integrated.
