Doing the Right Thing: 'New' Building Zimbabwe's Health System

Deconstructing Health System Challenges, Embracing Innovation and Technology and Rebuilding the Health System.

This book presents an analysis of challenges confronting Zimbabwe's health care delivery system, drawing from the World Health Organization's six building blocks framework, which consists of Leadership and Governance, Health Financing, Health Information, Medicines-Vaccines, and Technologies, Human Resources for Health, and Service Delivery. In utilizing this concept, the author considers the interconnectedness of the building blocks as a Complex Adaptive System and presents recommendations that inform policy and intervention choices and their complex transformation into health system outputs, outcomes, and impact. The theory of change presented proposes a diagonal and holistic approach to health systems strengthening, using Zimbabwe as a case study.

The book will be of interest to policymakers and advisers, decision-makers, health professionals and practitioners, academics, researchers, and students studying health sciences.
