Managing the Millenium Health Development Goals- The Challenge of Health Management Strengthening

Achieving the health Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will require a significant scaling up of health service delivery in many countries. The number of competent managers will also have to be scaled up at the same time – managers are an essential resource for ensuring that priority needs are met and resources are used effectively.

This study describes various management strengthening activities in three countries - South Africa, Togo and Uganda. Key findings were presented and discussed in a number of fora, including the "International Consultation on Strengthening Health Leadership & Management in Low-Income
Countries" held in February 2007 in Accra, Ghana where 20 low-income countries (LICs) were represented. The discussions clearly showed that all LICs are facing and struggling with very similar issues as those coming out of this study.
