Countries enabled to strengthen their health systems

evidence-based WHO policies, technical strategies, action plans, norms and standards and innovations to address conditions and diseases, while mainstreaming gender, equity, disability and human rights considerations, in partnership with key public health actors; strengthen basic emergency care services, including for injury, trauma; demonstrate impact in service coverage and control of conditions and diseases identified in the local context through data analysis, epidemiological reviews and modelling; integrate condition and disease-specific strategies into their national health strategies, and to leverage the strengths of specific health topics at all levels (e.g. national laboratories, medical goods and supplies procurement chains, and strategic information systems); adapt WHO norms and standards for condition- and disease-specific service coverage to inform country implementation decisions and ensure integration based on best practices and recommendations; attain regional or global recognition when nearing disease elimination and eventually validation with disease-free status; assess national preparedness and response plans, national strategic plans, health topic reviews, related to conditions and diseases and rehabilitation, especially in fragile, conflict and vulnerable settings; strengthen the health management information system, including with efficient patient tracking and follow-up, to improve care quality and accountability; use surveillance systems to identify health needs, monitor disease trends and the impact of interventions, as well as progress towards control, elimination and eradication; generate data, burden-of-disease assessments, incidence studies for country, regional and global status reports to monitor progress on disease control, elimination and eradication, as well as to determine programme gaps and population service coverage; strengthen the collection, analysis and use of routine topic to improve responses for disease-specific interventions; target the optimization of available resources with disease-control precision micro-planning; strengthen national health systems? capacities, tailored to country-specific needs and gaps, to address mental health conditions, integrating mental health services in primary health care; strengthen primary health care to reach population health needs in an integrated approach (integrating and broadening screening for specific conditions and diseases at health visits); strengthen health systems to address for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation from communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and mental health and substance use conditions across the continuum of care, using regional and national institutional capacity-building; and monitor and evaluate the uptake of norms and standards in countries to seek to attribute their impact on communicable and noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions.
