    I am at #WHA71, the 71st World Health Assembly @WHO. I see a striking pattern that is a major shift in global health: a greater focus on advancing individual systems of care—for primary health, childbirth, surgery, diagnostics—and not just controlling individual diseases. 1/6

        To succeed, “vertical” programs (such as polio eradication, HIV treatment, TB care) commonly worked outside existing medical systems, because they are so broken. Expanding the efforts, however, requires making basic systems work. And the world is starting to define how. 2/6

        For example, @WHO for the first time identified a list of 113 essential, cost-effective diagnostic tests—from blood sugar levels (for diabetes) to basic blood loss counts to HIV tests—that humans require for long, healthy life. 3/6https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/21/health/who-essential-diagnostics-list.html …

        Having a National strategy for stronger primary health care systems is now being recognized as a cornerstone of improving life expectancy and achieving universal coverage. (Um, hello, United States?) 4/6http://www.phcperformanceinitiative.org

        For the first time, multiple countries, eg Zambia & Tanzania, are reporting National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anesthesia Plans to close gaps in private and public sector availability and safety of these essential capabilities across the lifespan. 5/6https://www.pgssc.org/national-surgical-planning …

        One way of looking at this is in terms of increased attention to "advancing systems of care". Another way would be increased attention to government obligations to advance #righttohealth #UHC

        Perhaps this may have started with Drs. Jim Kim & Margaret Chan calling for more attention into the "science of delivery", #UHC, and #accountability. http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/speech/2013/05/21/world-bank-group-president-jim-yong-kim-speech-at-world-health-assembly … v @JimYongKim @wef. #WHA71

        Indeed, the @WHO Shanghai Declaration for Health Promotion strongly calls for it: top-down & one-size-fits-all don’t work. #hiap, focus on city/comity needs & #HealthLiteracy are the pillars for action

        Dr Gawande, it is increasingly clear that there needs to be an *evidence based* “safe birth” checklist. Maternal care practically ends once a baby is delivered. The US has the worst maternal/fetal mortality in industrialized nations, and it’s worse by race. Who can tackle it?
