"We must be led by those who have mastery of the skills to mobilize, coordinate and direct broad collaborative actions within the complex public health system. These skills need constant refinement and honing" - South West Public Health Leadership Institute. Whatever the system, plan, strategy, intervention, or procedure, the client's well-being should be the primary consideration. This book on efficacy, effectiveness, and efficiency in the management of health systems, aims to convey a critical understanding on the importance of proper management of health systems so that challenges are prevented or identified and solved in real time, and to eliminate steps or processes that do not add value. "Efficacy is getting things done or the capacity to produce a desired amount of the desired effect or success in achieving a given goal". "Efficiency is doing things in the most economical way". "Effectiveness is doing the right things, such as setting targets to achieve an overall goal or the effect". In that context, critical perspectives of the usefulness and limitations of modern managerial methods, health systems management and delivery of health services within them, will be presented. The ultimate goal is to ensure that public health goals and objectives are achieved through effective, efficient, equitable, relevant, responsive, resilient, strengthened, and sustainable health systems, for better health for all. The big questions are: How healthy is the healthy system? What needs to be done to strengthen and sustain the health system? When and how is it going to be done? Who will lead and manage, and how? Who are the key stakeholders, and why? How and when are the key stakeholders going to be meaningfully involved? How long would it take for improvement to be visible in the health system? Who will measure, and how? The discussions are a searching and enlightening freshly packaged critical perspectives on the development, design, delivery, strengths and limitations of modern managerial methods, and evaluation of health systems within various international settings.
