Health Service Delivery

Health Service Delivery

We are working on opening up a diagnostic and health delivery facility for training, research, and health service delivery to benefit the local community at health Centre IV levels and beyond. Provide and improve the quality of health care services and home-based care/domiciliary in the catchment communities.

Health care delivery forms the most visible function of the health system, both to patients and the general public. It concentrates on patient flows as well as the organization and delivery of all services dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disease, or the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. It covers the main areas of service provision such as public health, primary care, specialized care (often divided into secondary and tertiary care), urgent and emergency care, pharmaceutical care, rehabilitation/intermediate care, long-term care, services for informal carers, palliative care, mental health care and dental care.

The Observatory’s engagement in this area focuses on describing, comparing and analysing the different delivery systems in use. It can build on the wealth of detailed descriptions gathered as part of the longstanding Health Systems in Transition (HiT) series and the Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM).
