Service delivery

"Health services are the most visible part of any health system, both to users and the general public. Health services, be they promotion, prevention, treatment or rehabilitation, may be delivered in the home, the community, the workplace, or in health facilities. Effective health service delivery depends on having some key resources: motivated staff, equipment, information and finance, and adequate drugs. Improving access, coverage and quality of health services also depends on the ways services are organized and managed, and on the incentives influencing providers and users. In any health system, good health services are those which deliver effective, safe, good quality, personal and non-personal care to those that need it, when needed, and with minimal waste."
