Strengthening Health Systems through Primary Health Care
A health system consists of all the organizations, institutions, resources and people whose primary purpose is to improve health. Strengthening health systems means addressing key constraints related to health worker staffing, infrastructure, health commodities (such as equipment and medicines), logistics, tracking progress and effective financing.
The world's political and international health leaders recognize the urgent need to make a major, sustained commitment to strengthening health systems. This renewed political interest presents the important opportunity needed to make sustainable improvements that benefit across disease areas and health programmes, and redouble global efforts to meet the challenge of achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
