DCPP Lessons on Health Systems Highlighted in Commonwealth Health Ministers Book 2007
Each year, the Commonwealth Secretariat produces a reference book outlining key health issues from a range of perspectives for the Commonwealth Health Ministers just prior to the World Health Assembly. For their 2007 edition, DCPP was asked to contribute to the book with a chapter on key messages related to health systems. Prof. Anne Mills, a Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries, 2nd ed., editor and head of the Department of Public Health and Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, wrote a chapter on strengthening health systems. The chapter explains the importance of health systems, highlights some of their common weaknesses, and provides illustrations of how they can be improved, drawn from experiences in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa.
