Algemeen
In today’s pluralist health systems, effective decision makers engage in a policy dialogue with actors at all levels of the health system, with international actors and with actors from other sectors. They act upon governance arrangements, which can be enablers or barriers to actual implementation of policies. Moreover, they respond to people’s increasing demand for better public accountability in health care.
This 3-week course on health policy and governance is relevant for health policy makers, local health system managers, programme managers and researchers involved in health policy processes and governance at different levels, both within and beyond the health sector.
The course includes perspectives from disciplines such as public health, political science, public administration, organisational sociology and economics.
The department of public health at ITM has a longstanding expertise and experience in supporting, implementing and studying health policy processes LMIC. The input of ITM staff is complemented by the involvement of worldwide partners and alumni. Participants also benefit from the rich exchange of experience between professionals originating from different parts of the world.
