Proceedings of the Consultation on “Integration Of Health System Operations and Priority Health, Nutrition and Population Interventions: Concept, Evidence and Application”

This report summarizes the consultation on “Integration of Health System Operations and Priority Health, Nutrition and Population Interventions: Concepts, Evidence and Application”, which was held at the World Bank on May 12-13, 2008. The purpose of the consultation was to provide inputs into the early stage of a global learning exercise that is being undertaken by the Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) Department of the World Bank.  This work program is derived from the new World Bank strategy for HNP results, Healthy Development, which has as one of its five strategic directions the improvement of synergies between health system strengthening and priority HNP interventions. This multi-year exercise will focus on key questions, evidence and assumptions of which policy makers and financiers need to be aware as they make decisions in different contexts.  Participants included senior policymakers and researchers from a number of countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ghana, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Rwanda and Vietnam), academic institutions, international organizations, technical agencies and public-private partnerships.
