However further effort is needed to address inequality in health outcomes and in the health system. Overall recommendations arising from this report, which are discussed in detail in Chapter 8, center on five areas: (a) prioritizing interventions that affect infant and maternal mortality, (b) improving health promotion and disease prevention practices at the family and community level through community mobilization and inter-sectoral collaboration, (c) mobilizing funds for the health sector including strategies that encourage risk polling mechanisms; (d) focusing on human resources and collaboration with the private sector to improve health service delivery, and (e) improving accountability through improving information systems and supervision.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO SANITATIONADOLESCENTSADULTSAGEDALCOHOLALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONANTENATAL CAREARIBIRTH SPACINGBLOOD PRESSURECHILD MORBIDITYCHILD MORTALITYCHILDHOOD ILLNESSESCHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATIONCLINICAL GUIDELINESCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITYCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONDOMSDEATHSDIARRHEADISEASE PREVENTIONDISTRICTSDRUG PRESCRIBINGDRUG USERSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC STATUSEMERGENCY OBSTETRIC CAREESSENTIAL DRUGSESSENTIAL HEALTH CAREEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY PLANNINGFERTILITY RATEFERTILITY RATESGENDERHAND WASHINGHEALTHHEALTH BEHAVIORHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE RESOURCESHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCEHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PRACTICESHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH STATUS INDICATORSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCEHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTHY LIFESTYLESHIGH FERTILITYHOME CAREHOMESHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUNGERHYGIENEIMCIIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATION COVERAGEINCOMEINFANT FEEDINGINFANT MORTALITYINFECTIONINFORMATION SYSTEMSINNOVATIONINTERSECTORAL COLLABORATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMEDICAL EQUIPMENTMORBIDITYMOTHERSNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSPARTNERSHIPPATIENTSPREGNANCYPREGNANCY COMPLICATIONSPREGNANT WOMENPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICESPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SECTORRADIOREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRURAL AREASSAFE DRINKING WATERSANITATIONSANITATION PRACTICESSEX WORKERSSTUNTINGTETANUSTOBACCOURBAN AREASWORKERSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/14514
