Our research is anchored on health systems and their performance in meeting population health needs. Our book, Revisiting Health System Performance Assessment in Africa provides a practical and pragmatic framework for a holistic examination and assessment of health systems. Using illustrative examples from various countries in Africa, we examine different aspects pertinent to health system performance including, burden of disease trends, health financing challenges, progress in scaling up health intervention coverage, efficiency and productivity change in service delivery, among others.
Health system stewards, particularly those in resource constrained environments would find this book useful in their efforts to track progress and determine effectiveness of health systems.
