Financing Community Health Programs for Scale & Sustainability
7 COURSE SERIES
Health financing is a complex yet crucial component of achieving health for all. As countries develop plans to incorporate community health into their health systems, leveraging existing resources & identifying new financing sources will ensure that health systems are sustainable over the long term.
In partnership with Last Mile Health’s Community Health Academy, the Financing Alliance for Health launched the online course series. Drawing on cases and lessons learned from practitioners around the world, this series presents an in-depth exploration of the financing pathways crucial to building well-designed, adequately resourced, and sustainable community health systems.
