Health Systems and Policy

The Health Systems and Policy group develops and applies methods to evaluate and validate health system interventions in real-world health systems. We place particular emphasis on measuring systems effectiveness of essential health interventions and assessing policies, recognising that all health system building blocks – governance, financing, human resources, informatics, technologies, infrastructure and service delivery – are interrelated. We also focus on strengthening good governance of health systems and translating evidence into policy. Our research group brings together expertise in health systems analysis, policy analysis and evaluation, and health economics.

We have been involved in the Consortium for Health Policy and Systems Analysis for Africa, an EU FP7 project to support teaching in schools of public health in Africa and beyond. Read more
