2.3. Success in public health projects
Public health projects, are concerned on providing conditions in which people can be healthy [5], and are
essential for populations’ welfare. The scarce literature found in the public health field describes different results
from the literature previous presented. Medlin et al. (2006) [1] analyzed the factors that contributed to the
development and implementation of cost-effective interventions in healthcare and point the benefits of strong
leadership, effective management, realistic financing arrangements, country ownership, openness and receptivity to
learning by doing, constantly improving on strategies and processes by incorporating new research findings and
technical innovation. Other study [19] addressed organizational development in healthcare and identified the
following success factors: adequate financing; partnerships; advanced project logistics; small scale projects; and
adequate internal and external communication.
