According to a recent statement by
Global Health Development (
GHD), a regional
initiative started to strengthen health systems in the Eastern Mediterranean, the workshop welcomed participants from Afghanistan,
Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, as well as experts from across
the globe, to focus on “exchanging experiences and lessons about building on
polio capacities to address other countries’ public health priorities.”
“Integration is a key step to
reform health systems to achieve more equitable delivery of health services. It
is crucial to understand what, whether, when, and how to integrate different
public health programs into the Primary Health Care and the broader health
system,” said GHD regional public health programs director, Magid Al-Gunaid.
“Seizing opportunities to increase the reach (of) priority services,
consolidate fragmentation, eliminate duplication and overlapping, and
bolstering the system’s ability would all serve in responding to population
health needs in a more holistic approach.”
The workshop concluded on Tuesday
with participants drafting “specific priority activities” to accelerate
coordination within their own national health systems.
