1. “An assessment of interactions between global health initiatives and country health systems” was published in the Lancet on June 20, 2009. This review is the most comprehensive of the three, and includes action points for all global health players. I was especially struck by their first of 5 recommendations: “Infuse the health systems strengthening agenda with the sense of ambition and speed that has characterized the GHIs.” Health Systems activism is needed!
4. (A fourth article, “Investment in HIV/AIDS programs: Does it help strengthen health systems in developing countries?” was published in late 2008).
