Strengthening health systems globally

BHP director Alex Berland recently published A self-assessment guide for readiness to govern in the International Journal of Health Governance. Effective governance is essential for improving quality of care, human resource management and business practices. The article introduces a “Readiness Self-Assessment Guide” that can be used as a diagnostic tool to help health service governors and managers, particularly in Low-Middle Income Countries. It is based on Berland’s experience working in health care systems globally, including a recent project with Sajida Foundation Hospital, Keraniganj, Bangladesh.
