What is the problem: WHO “The reality is straightforward. The power of existing interventions is not matched by the power of health systems to deliver them to those in greatest need, in a comprehensive way, and at an adequate scale.” —Margaret Chan Director General World Health Organization 7
The Issue of Quality in Health Care “… Between the health care we have and the care we can have lies not only a gap, but a chasm…” “… The problems come from poor systems – not bad people…” Institute of Medicine, USA
What is the problem: World Bank “The enormous investments that have been made in global health should have led to what we might have called a science of implementation and execution… …We have just not focused on the enormous complexity of delivering health care in a way that keeps people healthy ” —Jim Kim President, World Bank 9
