Module Overview

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (n.d.), “governance in the health sector refers to a wide range of steering and rule-making related functions carried out by governments/decisions makers as they seek to achieve national health policy objectives that are conducive to universal health coverage” (para. 1). Moreover, governance includes but is not limited to:

· maintaining the strategic direction of policy development and implementation

· detecting and correcting undesirable trends and distortions

· articulating the case for health in national development

· regulating the behavior of a wide range of actors - from health care financiers to health care providers

· establishing transparent and effective accountability mechanisms (WHO, n.d.)

In the final module of this course, we will examine health care governance practices, structures, and models.
