Health Systems Building blocks

Health systems building blocks are the essential components that work together to deliver effective healthcare. They include health workforce (trained staff), health services (clinics and hospitals), health information systems (record-keeping and data management), access to medicines and technology, financing (funding and payments), and leadership/governance (policy, oversight, and organization). These elements coordinate to ensure people receive quality, equitable care, and the system functions efficiently. When each part is strong and well-managed, the overall health system can better prevent, diagnose, and treat health problems for everyone.
