Health Systems Country Briefs

Aug 17 2007

Health Systems Country Briefs assess a country's health system to identify "best buys" for health systems strengthening - limited investments in health systems activities that are certain to realize important gains.

Information in the briefs comes from review of secondary data sources, country reports, and communication with country experts. Data for comparisons with peer countries come from internationally comparable datasets of the World Bank, World Health Organization, and others; where more recent data are available from the country, those data are used.
