Folks,
What Megan is NOT saying is that this was led by HFG, where she, Laurel Hatt, Catherine Connor and several others played a lead role in this game changing paper. This is a seminal piece of HSS work. Congratulations to the team!!!

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.

To read the full report, please visit hfgproject.org. It is posted on the home page.

Best wishes,

Megan
