Capacity Building on Health Systems Assessment and Diagnosis

Background

The Course on Health System Assessment is organized by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI). This course is directed and conducted by faculty and researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard). Systematic, evidence-based health system assessments and diagnosis are essential for driving impactful health reforms. A health system’s performance is measured by its ability to achieve both end goals and intermediate outcomes. Unlike traditional evaluations of specific interventions and programs, these diagnostic strategies and assessments require a holistic approach that encompasses all facets of the health system, extending beyond basic indicators like mortality and morbidity. This course on Health System Assessments and Diagnosis adopts Harvard’s Getting Health Reform Right Framework, a pioneering approach to analyzing health systems. Participants will learn the methodologies and data necessary for conducting comprehensive assessments, enriched with case studies from India and other nations. This course is designed to equip you with the tools to evaluate and enhance health system performance effectively.
