USAID is excited to share and seek input on a draft of the new Policy for Global Health Development: Advancing Life Expectancy and Well-Being https://lnkd.in/g_nEaQTM. We invite all of our partners, collaborators, and stakeholders to read the draft policy and provide feedback to ensure a truly inclusive and informed process. The public comment period will be open until September 3, and the draft and a feedback form can be found on the USAID website https://lnkd.in/g_nEaQTM. This #globalhealth policy lays out a bold ten-year vision for optimizing USAID’s significant global health impact and addressing today’s urgent health needs while building sustainable and resilient health systems for the future – a vision that strives to align our programming to collectively focus on strengthening a #primaryhealthcare (PHC) approach. It will build on and support the vision for ‘progress beyond programs’ outlined in USAID’s Policy Framework, which prioritizes reversing the decline in global life expectancy, bolstering #globalhealthsecurity, and improving PHC amidst the complex and interconnected challenges of our time, while maintaining our flagship global health programs.

Governance in Public Health: Building Resilient Health Systems In an interconnected world, public health governance isn't just a responsibility, it's a necessity. Strong governance ensures effective crisis management and fosters resilient health systems for better population outcomes. Why Governance Matters in Public Health? ?? Policy Frameworks: Governance establishes clear policies to manage health crises and guide system improvement. ?? System Resilience: Ensures health systems adapt to emergencies like pandemics or disasters. ?? Equity and Access: Promotes inclusivity in delivering care, ensuring no one is left behind. Strategies for Effective Public Health Governance: 1?? Evidence-Based Decision-Making: Policies grounded in data ensure relevance and efficacy. 2?? Collaboration Across Sectors: Bridging gaps between healthcare, government, and communities. 3?? Strengthened Accountability: Transparency builds trust and mitigates inefficiencies. 4?? Capacity Building: Training professionals to handle dynamic public health challenges. Impactful Examples: ?? COVID-19 Pandemic: Nations with proactive public health governance frameworks, such as New Zealand, showcased reduced mortality rates by implementing swift, evidence-backed strategies. (The Lancet Global Health) ?? According to the WHO, countries with robust governance systems see up to a 20% improvement in health outcomes through efficient resource use. (World Health Organization) ?? Uganda's Ebola Response: Effective governance helped contain outbreaks, saving thousands of lives. (National Institutes of Health) Conclusion: Good governance is the bedrock of public health. By embracing data, collaboration, and accountability, we can build systems that not only withstand crises but also deliver equitable care and improved health outcomes for all. #PublicHealthGovernance #GlobalHealth #HealthSystems #HealthEquity #ResilientHealthcare

?? Empowering People through Participatory Health Systems ?? The newly announced Lancet Global Health Commission on People-Centred Care for Universal Health Coverage is grounded in participatory principles, using community-engaged methods and shared governance models. ?? The Commission's approach begins with an open call for commissioner nominations, aiming to recruit a diverse, independent group of multidisciplinary experts, including: ?? People with lived experience ?? Academic researchers ??? Policymakers ???? Health-care providers ?? Private sector actors ?? Civil society This shift towards transparency and shared decision-making is crucial in publications with global influence, like the Lancet, which can intentionally contribute to dismantling unequal power structures in global health. ?? Over 2.5 years, the Commissioners will formulate research questions, synthesise evidence and conduct new research to inform policy and practice recommendations for operationalising people-centred care in diverse settings. ?? Through this innovative and inclusive approach, the Commission aims to forge a new way of knowing and practicing health care in the post-Sustainable Development Goal era, using people-centred care as a guide to achieving Universal Health Coverage. ?? How do you think participatory approaches can help reorient health systems to be truly for and with the people they serve? ?? #ParticipatoryHealthSystems?#SharedDecisionMaking?#CommunityEngagement?#HealthForAll

Breaking barriers for Health for All! I am so excited to share the release of a new comprehensive World Health Organization handbook designed to tackle barriers to effective health service coverage. This groundbreaking publication is a culmination of years of work and collaboration, and it's a vital resource for achieving universal health coverage. Key highlights: ??Context: According to recent data, 4.5 billion people lacked full coverage of essential health services in 2021, and 2 billion faced financial hardship in 2019. ??Framework: The handbook applies the Tanahashi framework through an 8-module, mixed-method research approach, focusing on barriers faced by both potential users and non-users of health services. The handbook facilitates the capturing of evidence on the interface between the population and the services. ????????????Target readership: Ideal for technical staff in national and subnational authorities, research institutions, universities, multilateral organizations, NGOs, civil society organizations and patients’ associations. Why it matters: This handbook is part of WHO's commitment to equity in the Fourteenth General Programme of Work, 2025-2028 (GPW14), which was adopted by Member States at this year’s World Health Assembly. It provides practical tools for equity-oriented, rights-based and gender responsive planning and programming in health sectors around the world. Get involved! Health for All begins with each of us taking action. Ensuring no one is left behind starts with understanding the barriers different people face in accessing health services. Dive into this essential resource and join the movement to break down these barriers. Download the Handbook today: https://lnkd.in/g2UdefeH #HealthForAll

We are thrilled to unveil our latest work at THEnet: Training for Health Equity Network done through the USAID funded Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS). This publication showcases the critical role of integrating a #socialdeterminantsofhealth perspective into health system strengthening. Why does it matter? Without tackling the root causes behind #healthinequities — health systems can't achieve fair outcomes. Moreover, #structuraldiscrimination — systematic disadvantages based on age, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc.—further skews the #equity and #quality of care. Addressing SDOH is also critical if we want to develop equitable climate-resilient health systems Access and affordability aren't enough if care doesn't meet the actual needs and challenges people face. Ignoring a patient's unique circumstances can lead to uneven care and discrimination. Through #LHSS, we've also developed a brief on key SDOH-related competencies for care providers. Check it out at https://bit.ly/3St9a8y We use case studies on maternal and child health to highlight that applying an #sdoh lens to both system and specific program-level interventions can shift the focus towards more holistic, people-centered, and life-course-oriented approaches. #socialjustice #SocialAccountability #resillienthealthsystems #community #health #healthsystems #climateandhealth

?? EU Health Joint Actions: Bridging the Impact Gap ?? A recent study reveals a concerning disparity between the number of European Joint Actions (JAs) initiated and those effectively evaluated for impact. With only 20% of initiatives undergoing formal assessments, the need for a unified evaluation strategy is more pressing than ever. Key insights include: - The importance of governance and stakeholder relationships in successful evaluations. - Challenges posed by diverse healthcare infrastructures and resistance to change. - The necessity for standardized frameworks to enhance accountability and transparency. As we strive to improve public health policies across Europe, it's crucial to develop adaptable evaluation models that cater to local contexts while ensuring consistent impact measurement. Let's work together towards a more effective health landscape! ?? ??
