Health Systems Flagship Core Course
The Core course recommends a systems-based approach to identify the necessary policy levers for achieving desired health system objectives. It is usually a 1-2 week long course that presents an overview of options to policy makers, enables them to consider the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, helps them define their challenges, and provides them with information that enables them to come to their own decisions.

Testimonials
“Getting to learn from the various Bank facilitators with different backgrounds, deep knowledge and practical experience, they were able to illustrate their instructive materials with real life examples which made concepts easy to understand and relate.”
“I had the opportunity of learning different and new concepts all together. The whole experience was eye opening for me. I learnt that the data we collect daily should inform programming for the next programs and projects.”
“It was most valuable to learn problem diagnosis: getting to the root cause, establishing winning strategies and finding an effective solution”
“Sharing of country experiences re-enforced learning and allowed for the application of theories and concepts to country-specific situations”
“This is one of the advance learning platforms I have been enrolled in. The facilitators pinpoint the solutions we can use in addressing health issues and they seek for our opinion through the pooling”
