Strengthening Health Systems in Yemen: Review of Evidence and Implications for Effective Actions for the Poor

Abstract

Decisions about how best to use resources are always political decisions, but can be more effective if they are also informed by research. International reports and donor policies emphasise how research can help make health strategies more effective and the need for evidence based policies (WHO, 2004; Green & Bennet, 2007, Moynihan et al., 2008, WB, 2005). The aim is to review international and Yemeni experiences in order to find evidence of proven effective strategies which would make the best use of the resources available for improving health.
