This stream of work aims to conduct systematic reviews on health systems research, particularly in the areas of:
- Human resources for health
- Health financing, and
- The role of the non-state sector
The Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research’s work to date on these areas has been largely through its Centre for Systematic Reviews, along with the identification of priority research questions and a priority setting exercise for each theme.
