Program areas at MSH
See schedule o.infectious diseases our programs build capacity at all levels of a Health system - hospital staff knowing how to prevent an infection, village sentinels reporting a suspicious disease outbreak, pharmacists keeping products available - to strengthen disease surveillance systems, reinforce strong national public Health systems and workforces, and introduce and scale new tools to prevent and control infectious diseases.
See schedule o.improving women's, children's, and adolescent Health: healthy women, children, and adolescents are the foundation of universal Health coverage. Working at entry level of the Health systems, msh partners with countries and communities to develop and implement locally- led solutions to reach women- across the continuum from pre-pregancy through postpartum - and children - from birth through chldhood adolescence - with affordable, high-quality primary care. We strengthen skills, knowledge, policies, and practices that bring lasting change in the availability, quality, accountability, affordability, and life-saving impact of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent Health services, in even the most vulnerable communities. Msh strengthens governance as the backbone of a sustainable, responsive Health systems, and supports empowered women in taking on leadership and demanding accountability. We foster sustainable institutional change - strengthened leadership, better - supported Health workers, people-centered care models, and evidence-informed quality improvement - so that Health systems can consistently deliver high-quality care that is used and that improves Health outcomes. We introduce and scale up new interventions and innovations, including in Health system organiation and financing to support accessible, affordable, sustainable services.
See schedule o.strengthening Health systems to support universal Health coverage: providing quality Health care to someone who needs it, when and where she needs it, requires a complex web of organizations, individuals, processes, and actions that, together, make up a Health system. Unfortunately, many national Health systems don't work well enough for countries to achieve universal Health coverage (uhc): effective, equitable, affordable access to high-quality essential Health services by everyone who needs them. Msh strengthens Health systems to sustainability and equitably increase coverage of high-quality, responsive, people- centered Health services while protecting patients, families, communities, and societies from financial hardship. Applying an integrated systems-thinking approach to a wide variety of contexts-- including countries where govenrnments struggle to deliver basic services while evolving from conflict and fragility to sustainability- msh works side-by-side with country stakeholders across the public and private sectors to strengthen institutional governance, financing leadership, and accountability, so that Health systems can effectively transition from donor assistance toward national sustainability and independence.
