Globalization and Health
|March 17, 2012
Summary
Development cooperation coordination has evolved through four stages: within sectors, sector-wide approaches, national cross-sectoral efforts, and global coordination. Challenges persist despite new consensus efforts.
Area of Science:
- Global Health
- Development Cooperation
- Health Systems Strengthening
Background:
- The concept of coordination in development assistance for health has evolved significantly.
- Understanding these transitions is crucial for analyzing current development cooperation discourses.
- The 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan highlighted the need for a new consensus.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolution of coordination in health development assistance.
- To identify distinct transitions in the conceptualization and application of coordination.
- To provide a basis for understanding current discourses on development cooperation.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of peer-reviewed scientific literature.
- Analysis of relevant 'grey' literature.
- Examination of landmark publications and influential authors in the field.
Main Results:
- Identified four distinct transitions in coordination: within-sector, sector-wide, national cross-sectoral, and global.
- These transitions show a largely chronological but overlapping progression.
- Each transition builds upon and redefines earlier elements.
Conclusions:
- The increasing complexity of global health governance and stakeholder networks challenges current coordination models.
- While the Busan Forum acknowledged a more complex development landscape, coordination challenges remain.
- Continued adaptation and innovation in coordination strategies are necessary for effective development cooperation.

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.

01:21Dimensions of Health and Illness
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
01:26Principles of Disease Surveillance
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...
01:30Primary Healthcare Services
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
