Every year at the World Health Assembly, civil society and
non-government organisations gather to promote various
health agendas by lobbying governments, WHO officials
and other stakeholders. These agendas cover a range of
topics and issues: particular diseases or illnesses; access to
treatment; pharmaceutical research and development; the
health of children and other neglected population groups;
and many others.

Health care systems in many low-income countries are in a
state of collapse. Many others remain incapable of providing
effective and equitable essential health care.
In spite of the importance of adequately resourced and
effectively governed, managed and organised health
care systems, there is no coherent and long-term health
systems development agenda amongst the international
health community. Instead, uncoordinated, piecemeal and
increasingly ‘vertical and selective’ interventions are being
applied in the absence of a road map for the strengthening
and long-term development of health care systems.
