7. WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems
▪ A health system consists of all organizations,
people and actions whose primary interest is to
promote, restore or maintain health. This can be
analysed in its totality by using different groups
or blocks. The six building blocks are
enumerated below. (WHO, 2010)
8. ▪ Good health services are those which deliver
effective, safe, quality personal and non-
personal health interventions to those who need
them, when and where needed, with minimum
waste of resources. (WHO, 2010)

9. Link to Health Services - A well-performing health workforce is
one which works in ways that are responsive, fair and efficient to
achieve the best health outcomes possible, given available
resources and circumstances. I.e. There are sufficient numbers
and mix of staff, fairly distributed; they are competent, responsive
and productive. (WHO, 2010)

10. Link to HealthWorkforce - A well-functioning health information
system is one that ensures the production, analysis,
dissemination and use of reliable and timely information on health
determinants, health systems performance and health status.
(WHO, 2010)

11. Link to Health Information - A well-functioning health system
ensures equitable access to essential medical
products , vaccines and technologies of assured quality, safety,
efficacy and cost-effectiveness, and their scientifically sound and
cost-effective use. (WHO, 2010)
WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems
12. Link to Essential Medicines - A good health financing
system raises adequate funds for health, in ways that ensure
people can use needed services, and are protected from financial
catastrophe or impoverishment associated with having to pay for
them. (WHO, 2010)

13. Link to Health financing - Leadership and governance involves
ensuring strategic policy frameworks exist and are combined with
effective oversight, coalition-building, the provision of appropriate
regulations and incentives, attention to system-design, and
accountability.

14. Link to Governance - Leadership and governance involve
ensuring strategic policy frameworks exist and are combined with
effective oversight, coalition-building, regulation, attention to
system-design and accountability.
In the context of health governance (or stewardship) refers to the
wide range of functions carried out by governments to improve
population health while ensuring equity in access to services,
quality of services, and patients' rights. Governance is also
concerned with the roles and responsibilities of the public, private
and voluntary sectors - including civil society - and their
relationships with each other in pursuit of national health goals.
(WHO, 2010)

15. Application of Health Delivery System
- Rising costs, aging and growing populations, and
increasing competition for funds and resources are
shifting the focus of health care delivery and
management from the individual patient to the patient
population.This change calls for more effective targeting
of patients, more efficient assessment of needs and
delivery of services, and better use of information
technologies to improve population health.
(D.M. Oleske, 2009)
16. Application of Health Delivery System
The newThird Edition of Epidemiology and the Delivery of
Health Care Services is one of the most complete and
authoritative works on the subject, brimming with case
studies, graphics, action lists, and learning outcomes for ease
of understanding.The book’s in-depth epidemiologic
framework begins with the basics (defining problems,
collecting reliable data, assessing risks), moves on to offer
innovative and seasoned techniques for research and service
delivery, and covers a wealth of salient issues, including:
(D.M. Oleske, 2009)
17. Application of Health Delivery System
▪ The impact of epidemiology on public health policy.
▪ Epidemiology as an essential element of infection prevention and control.
▪ Data sources with implications for population-based health services
planning and evaluation.
▪ Epidemiology as a driver of quality health care.
▪ Screening and surveillance in health promotion.
▪ Epidemiology as a means of fostering patient safety.
▪ Health service strategies for reducing epidemiologically identified
environmental health risks.
