Global Flagship Course on Health Systems Strengthening: Building Health Systems for the Future - Online Facilitated Version, June 7 -18, 2021
Note over 300 individuals participated in this first all "Virtual Flagship Course". See Flagship Resources
The Flagship Course on Health Systems is a cornerstone for providing participants with the conceptual framework and tools to understand health systems in a systematic manner. Too often, advocates of reforms focus on a specific intervention, disease, and/or population, or they confuse solutions with problems, or causes with consequences, and operate based on ideology and pre-conceived notions instead of careful, disciplined exploration of their specific situation. The course introduces, by working through real world public health problems, including latest challenges with COVID-19 pandemic, a set of concepts that can facilitate systematic and critical thinking about health reform. It is not a technical course for any specific area but instead helps participants better understand complex policymaking processes and address implementation challenges to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The course is not intended to be prescriptive. It guides the participants to define their own problems, analyze causes and constraints, and come up with their own solutions.
The Global Flagship Course on Health Systems will included 3 hours of facilitated course work delivered from 6 am to 9 am Eastern Time (UTC-04:00 hours) on each of the following 7 Days – June 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18. There will also be Required and/or Recommended/Optional pre-readings, eLearning Modules, and videos/ PowerPoint with a voice over. Country Groups will also be formed to do “Country Group Work” outside of course/class hours. This Country Group Work will lead to a final presentation by the Group on the final day of the course. Note all participants must be pre-approved by the Course Leaders Nedim Jaganjac njaganjac@worldbank.org Or Sarah Alkenbrack salkenbrack@worldbank.org
Learning Objectives
At the highest strategic level, the Flagship’s goal is to teach participants a set of concepts and tools so that they can engage in discussions about their health system (including reforms) in a structured and strategic manner.
This understanding allows participants to manage the diverse processes involved in improving the performance and equity of health systems.
The Flagship course also facilitates policy dialogue and partnership strengthening tools and is integrated with the World Bank’s twin goals (reducing poverty and increasing shared prosperity) and the WB’s Health, Nutrition and Population strategic directions, which include, but are not limited to, strengthening primary health care and public health, and working with other (non-health) sectors.
The course also helps to convey the importance of UHC to building human capital.
Target Audience
Mid and high-level officials dealing with health systems like ministries of Health, Finance, other sectors, public and private health officials, academia, media, development partners, World Bank Group Staff etc.
