World Bank Health Systems Research

World Bank Health Systems Research studies how healthcare services are organized, financed, and delivered worldwide. Its goal is to identify effective strategies to improve health outcomes, expand access, and ensure sustainable, efficient systems—especially in low- and middle-income countries. By analyzing data, policies, and practices, the research informs governments and stakeholders on best approaches to strengthen health systems, reduce disparities, and promote universal health coverage. This work helps ensure that all people receive quality health care regardless of their location or financial situation.
