Conclusion
There is a need for governments to increase commitment
and investment in strengthening health systems. In
strengthening the health sector, national health systems
stewards need to ensure alignment and coherence of
policies, priorities amongst different stakeholders; manage
and coordinate partnerships and expectations; and
implement and foster ownership of health systems
interventions at national and subnational levels. There
is also a need to ensure equity gender and other aspects
with regard to the provision of health services, with
particular attention given to women, children, and other
disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.
