The Health Systems Research and Dynamical Modelling unit combines systems science for health systems strengthening with disease and systems modelling to create new research opportunities, capacities and evidence to better understand and influence contemporary health development. We focus on health interventions in a systems context as well as on specific system-level interventions, as part of the Institute’s goal of creating global leadership in integrated health systems research, strengthening and training. Our approach to health systems involves a deeper understanding of complex systems dynamics and requires empirical evidence and experience from practical real-world scenarios coupled with dynamic systems modelling. Our research groups combine expertise in health systems analysis, health policy analysis, health economics, disease and systems modelling, and public health computing sciences. Our networks include close partnerships with major research institutions and networks in low- and middle-income country health systems. Our research is intended to inform both health research funders and stewards of health systems of the appropriate priorities, strategies, innovations and resource allocation for effective and equitable health development from household to national levels.
