In_focus: fixing health systems (Tanzania)

Abstract

This book from the International Development and Research Centre presents the Tanzania Essential Health Interventions Project (TEHIP). The premise of this project is that health reforms should be based not just on increased funding but on more strategic investments in health. The first section outlines the TEHIP idea, while the second section details the implementation of TEHIP in two districts in Tanzania. The remaining sections outline the results of the project, current efforts to extend the impact of TEHIP innovations, and the critical lessons learned from the TEHIP experience.
