Financing the necessary resources for infrastructure, services, and workforce development is fundamental to efficient health systems. Adequate funding enables health systems to deliver quality care, innovate, and respond effectively to public health challenges.
Effective provisioning ensures the availability of essential resources, including infrastructure, and human resources for health. It supports efficient service delivery, enhances healthcare access, and improves patient outcomes.
Governance includes policy design, implementation, regulation, and evaluation. Our ‘whole-of-society’ approach recognizes that governance includes not just the government, but also the private sector and the community.
Ensuring the consistent availability of necessary medicines, equipment, and supplies supports uninterrupted healthcare delivery and enhances system efficiency. Effective supply chain management helps health systems meet demands, particularly during crises.
Digital health technologies enable efficient data management, improved decision-making, enhanced patient care, and real-time monitoring. They support interoperability and ensure better access to health information across all levels.
People's health is central to all health systems strengthening efforts. By focusing on population health needs, systems can enhance service delivery, promote equity, and improve outcomes, ensuring that health interventions are responsive to community demands.
Relations forge collaboration, trust, and coordination among stakeholders, which are essential for effective reforms, service delivery, and systemic resilience.
Communications are crucial in health systems strengthening, enabling accurate information sharing, stakeholder engagement, and public health literacy. They support crisis management, policy advocacy, and capacity building while improving health outcomes.

ACCESS Health is a leader in India and around the world. I have worked with ACCESS Health on health strategic purchasing, health insurance, health systems resilience, pharmaceutical policy, and a range of delivery system issues. Their range is wide, their analysis is deep. As middle income countries transition from poor to middle-income to OECD-level status, independent institutes, "think tanks", and sectoral expertise are needed totranslate research into policy analysis, and policy analysis to implementation pathways. In India, and now across Asia, ACCESS Health is providing that leadership.

I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with ACCESS Health International on the establishment of the Asia Pacific Cardiovascular Disease Alliance, in partnership with Roche and other partners. Their expertise in managing complex projects and coordinating diverse stakeholders has been crucial to the success of the alliance. ACCESS Health's commitment to excellence, combined with their strategic insight and effective communication, sets them apart in the global health sector. Working with them has been a remarkable experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a dedicated and innovative partner in global health initiatives.

USP knows that a partnership with ACCESS Health International will advance critical dialogues, surface impactful solutions, and lead to more patients accessing the quality medicines they need; a perfect example is our collaboration on India’s pharmaceutical procurement systems which helped strengthen health systems throughout South Asia. And we’re fortunate to continue our work with Dr. Krishna Reddy, who shares his expertise and leadership as a member of the USP Board of Trustees, always championing India’s concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.'

Improving health systems performance within and across countries requires not only technical prowess, but also understanding of cultural context, and flexibility to adapt innovative approaches to intractable challenges. I had the pleasure of engaging with ACCESS Health as they employed all three strengths to health systems and private sector challenges within India and globally when they were in their formative stages as an organization. It is no surprise to me to see how much they have grown since.
