Planning involves setting goals and strategies to accomplish those goals in the future, while management focuses on implementing plans in the present. Planning includes analyzing the current health situation, establishing objectives and priorities, assessing available resources, developing plans, programming and implementing plans, monitoring, and evaluating. The key aspects of planning are setting realistic and measurable objectives, balancing needs with available resources, developing alternative plans, and building in evaluation. National health planning aims to achieve balanced economic and social development through orderly utilization of resources to improve health services.
