New free-access dossier produced by Eldis in collaboration with the Health and Fragile States Network

With some of the worst health indicators and the least adequate health services in the world, providing health services and rebuilding health systems in fragile states is a complex undertaking. This health and fragile states dossier highlights the challenges and approaches to delivering health services in fragile states. 



The dossier covers a number of issues, including: what are fragile states? How can the health-related Millennium Development Goals be met in these states? What are the best approaches for delivering health services in fragile states? How can the World Health Organization’s (WHO) six building blocks for health systems strengthening be used as a framework for planning and priority-setting in fragile states? What are the implications of the international aid effectiveness agenda for the building of resilient and responsive states to deliver basic services?
