DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe ministries of health in developing countries have generally accorded great importance to strengthening health management, so that available resources will be used effectively and efficiently. The value of health systems research in supporting informed decision making in the management process has been recognized by many ministries of health and in a number of developing countries, health systems research projects and health systems research methodology workshops have been conducted. These efforts, however, need to be augmented so that managers at various levels in the health care system acquire an understanding and appreciation of health systems research and its use in management. This report publishes selected contributions to an international seminar which was convened in order to explore national and global experiences in the field of integration of health systems research and health management.
