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?”

Proper specimen collection and transport play an important role in the accurate and timely identification of newly emerging infectious diseases. This report provides recommendations for improving the specimen collection and transport system in Peru.

During this webinar, we use the HSS Evidence Gap Map to explore measurement tools and approaches that have been used to estimate impact of HSS interventions on health systems outcomes.

Thanks to a multiyear strategy supported by LHSS and predecessor USAID projects, Vietnam now funds approximately 52 percent of its HIV/AIDS program through domestic financial resources.

Through intensive engagement with residents, health workers and other community leaders countered misinformation and eased people's concerns. The result: thousands more COVID-19 vaccinations.

The Evidence Gap Map identifies existing literature examining the impact of health systems strengthening on health outcomes. Evidence is organized around USAID's Health System Strengthening Learning Agenda.

This video captures Timor-Leste’s progress in increasing COVID-19 vaccination coverage and strengthening the capacity of health care professionals – efforts supported by LHSS’s local NGO partner HAMNASA.

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 3, “What measurement tools, approaches, and data sources, from HSS or other fields, are most helpful in understanding interrelationships and interactions, and estimating impact of HSS interventions on health system outcomes and priority health outcomes?”

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 2, “What conditions or factors successfully facilitate the institutionalization and/or implementation at scale of good practices that improve health system outcomes, and why? What are lessons learned regarding planning for sustainability and achieving results at scale?”

Infographic describes seven lessons learned in Colombia while prioritizing health system strengthening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022 marked Vietnam's 10-year journey to sustain its HIV response with domestic financing (2013 – 2022).  The country now stands out as a global example for sustainability and domestic resource mobilization for its HIV program.

This video was followed by a presentation from USAID’s M-RITE project and several sessions on the breadth and depth of the LHSS Activity’s interventions.

This assessment of the tele-counseling services provides valuable information that should be used as an input by the MSPS for the decision-making processes related to the technical guidance that will be issued to organize the implementation of this strategy at the local level.

LHSS supported the MSPS to develop guidelines and recommendations not only for the provision of care, but also for rehabilitation and for health workers’ occupational safety and health. Once the protocols are adopted by administrative act, the MSPS will be responsible for the dissemination process. LHSS Colombia, as part of its transition plan, will be ready to support the process of disseminating the protocols to human resources for health working at the basic level of care in the prioritized territories.

This document identifies several scenarios for sustaining the use of Mi Paciente for monitoring ARI/COVID-19 patients, considering the socio-economic conditions of each territory.
