Beyond Scaling Up: improving access to health services

Briefing

Ill health is still a major human problem and a high burden for many countries, despite the availability of effective interventions. Growing impatience with this situation, at both national and international level, has led to big political and financial commitments; and large new international organisations have been set up to improve health outcomes globally. But these big changes have not been matched by consistent improvements on the ground, where many people still have difficulty accessing effective health services.

This briefing accompanies the Working Paper Beyond Scaling Up: Pathways to Universal Access to Health Services.
