The next twenty years of health policy and systems research

Health system global (hsg) "How far has the field of health policy and systems research (HPSR) advanced in the last twenty years? What could it achieve in the next twenty? What are the key challenges to realizing its potential? (By Kumanan Rasanathan, HSG Board Member)

Twenty years of the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research

We’ve been thinking about these questions in Stockholm as we’ve celebrated twenty years since the Lejondal Meeting here paved the way for the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research. Fittingly the meeting was hosted by SIDA and Norad who, along with DFID, have been the great funders and champions of the Alliance. The meeting also launched the first World Report on Health Policy and Systems Research, a comprehensive document on the current status of HPSR – an essential read for everyone in HSG."
