World Health Organisation (who)

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The report recommends some strategic changes to the existing health programmes and schemes, such that they work in conjunction with each other and collectively contribute to building a comprehensive health system. Thus it shifts the focus to a ‘systemic’ approach to health, while also emphasizing the importance of the individual disease control programmes. Secondly, it suggests certain changes in the way we look at ‘public health’ and, its subsequent monitoring through public health systems reforms. A dedicated Public Health Cadre is proposed as the bedrock of the system.
