Health Policy and Governance Training Course: Strengthening Systems for Sustainable Healthcare

Health policy and governance are central to building resilient healthcare systems that ensure equitable access, improved health outcomes, and sustainable development. Effective governance frameworks enable governments, institutions, and stakeholders to design, implement, and evaluate health policies that respond to pressing challenges such as financing, service delivery, pandemics, and equity gaps. This training course provides participants with the expertise to analyze, develop, and manage health policies that enhance accountability, efficiency, and inclusivity in healthcare.

Through practical case studies, interactive workshops, and global best practices, participants will learn how to strengthen health systems by integrating governance principles with evidence-based policymaking. The program equips leaders and practitioners with the skills to manage health reforms, engage stakeholders, and monitor the performance of health policies.
