Thematic focus: Health systems strengthening

Adapted from: WHO Framework for Action

For the next years, contributing to health system strengthening will be the common denominator of joint enterprises and statements of the Medicus Mundi International Network. With our strategic focus on health systems strengthening (Network strategy 2011-15) we explicitly refer to the health systems strategy of the World Health Organization. Within the broad framework of health systems strengthening, the definition of a set of programs will be demand driven, initiated and lead by network members - in an ongoing dialogue about joint key issues and new developments and opportunities in our environment.
