Earlier today, USAID’s Office of Health Systems released a major new report, which for the first time presents a significant body of evidence linking health systems strengthening interventions to measurable impacts on health outcomes. The Impact of Health Systems Strengthening on Health identifies 13 types of health systems strengthening (HSS) interventions with quantifiable effects.

Ariel Pablos-Mendez, Assistant Administrator for Global Health, Child and Maternal Survival Coordinator, opened today’s event. “We all agree on the importance of building sustainable health systems, but it’s harder to appreciate the importance of HSS investments at the country level. This exercise is allowing us to share the first wave of the impact of health systems strengthening interventions. This is paramount and it is an important step for us,” he said.

Best wishes,
