  • What will it take to achieve global health outcomes?

    To frame the discussion on financing for health in a post-2015 context, panelists will be invited to reflect on the broader objective of achieving improved health outcomes. The aim is to improve health for all. The session will explore the topics such as:
    • We often hear that financing is not enough, that we also need good policies to improve outcomes. What does this mean for health, what examples do we have?
    • How can partners help improve governance and efficiency for improved health outcomes? We will look at private sector, governments’ and ministers’ perspectives.
    • Improving health outcomes requires action outside the role of the health sector and has implications on the function of the Minister of Health. How can we make policy coherence work at the national level? What financial implications does it have?

    • How does the private sector best integrate its efforts with those of civil society, donor governments, and the plans and strategies of the national governments?
    • What types of health interventions make the most sense for the private sector to address and how does the private sector work with governments and practitioners to bring new devices and innovations to scale in a sustainable and affordable way?
