CEPA - Health

The ability of governments and their national and global partners to deliver sustainable healthcare to the growing populations in resource constrained countries is critical if we are are to move closer to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and the healthcare MDGs in particular.

In this context, CEPA has advised a range of health sector stakeholders, including bilateral and multilateral donors, global health partnerships, and foundations, on:

	appropriate strategies, including identification of strategic and organisational priorities, and development of detailed implementation plans;
	evaluation of performance, including assessing the results hierarchy of outputs, outcomes and impacts (using qualitative and quantitative approaches) as well as assessing the comparative advantage and value addition of programmes;
	strategies/mechanisms for the development of sustainable markets for relevant health products (e.g. vaccines, diagnostics, medicines);
	analytical policy related work, such as on mechanisms to attract participation / financing from non-state actors in the delivery of healthcare, global supply chain issues for delivery of healthcare commoditites to developing countries, amongst others;
	design and structuring of innovative financing facilties to support health sector interventions in developing countries; and
	review and restructuring of governance arrangements, institutional structures and operating models with the aim to increase efficiency and efffectiveness

In addition to emerging markets health work, we have also worked extensively advising stakeholders in the UK health sector
