To explore the use of people-centered metrics in HIV care, a set of six people-centered indicators for HIV care and an indicator survey tool were developed to collect data on the metrics via client interviews. This brief summarizes findings and draws recommendations from an exploratory qualitative study to assess the acceptability, feasibility, integrability, and relevance of both the indicators themselves and the indicator survey tool employed to gather client data.
With increased migration around the world posing unique challenges and opportunities for health systems, efforts to better integrate and include migrants and host communities in national health systems are an integral part of the global health equity agenda.
This brief introduces the social determinants of health (SDOH) concept and terminology, and discusses approaches to addressing SDOH. Understanding these root causes of health inequities and their impact on health care access, quality, and equity is crucial to strengthening health systems.
The 8th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR 2024) will be held in Nagasaki, Japan, from November 18 to 22, 2024.
AIDS 2024 (July 22-26, 2024) will convene thousands of people living with, affected by and working on HIV to share knowledge, best practices and lessons learnt from the HIV response over the past 40 years, as well as from the responses to COVID-19, mpox and other public health threats.
The video showcases the success of peer learning events held in the Sylhet and Rajshahi regions, where city corporations and district municipalities came together to share experiences and discuss different approaches to strengthening primary health care.
This video highlights the collaborative efforts between LHSS and six district municipalities from Sylhet and Rajshahi divisions to strengthen primary health care systems in urban Bangladesh.
LHSS is presenting at the Global Digital Health Forum, December 4-6, 2023, in Washington, DC.

USAID Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS) in Bangladesh works with 14 local government institutions (LGIs) to improve primary health care for urban poor! Watch how LHSS helped Habiganj Municipality to transform an abandoned building into a fully functional primary health care center, serving over 100,000 people in need!
This Catalog allows practitioners to consider which interventions have more robust evidence bases to support their practical application, such as: enhancing worker and supervisor competencies through training, offering nonfinancial incentives for high performers, practicing task sharing to promote cost savings, implementing digital solutions to expand access to services, and reducing costs of procuring and distributing pharmaceutical products.
This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 5, “What are effective and sustainable mechanisms or processes that enable the participation of private sector, civil society, and public organizations in developing locally-led solutions to improve high-performing health care, especially for poor and vulnerable populations? What enables the effective participation or leadership of marginalized populations themselves in the development and implementation of these solutions? Under what conditions is this participation different?”
New efforts will make health care more affordable for residents in 10 municipalities.
LHSS is supporting local government institutions in Bangladesh’s densely populated Rajshahi and Sylhet Divisions to expand access to primary health services and reduce out-of-pocket expenditures for low-income urban residents.
LHSS is proud to present at the Global Digital Health Forum, December 5-7, 2022, in Arlington, Virginia.
