Introducing The Lancet Global Health Commission on High-Quality Health Systems in the SDG Era

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The Millennium Development Goals on health have expanded access to basic health interventions to millions of people in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, access alone will not be sufficient to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) if health systems cannot provide high quality care—ie, care that improves health outcomes and provides value to people. Emerging data show that many LMIC health systems struggle to consistently provide good quality of care.1,2 Yet change is possible.
