That’s where a systems thinking approach to health comes in! By analyzing different elements of the operating environment, from financing opportunities to laws and regulations to quality assurance standards, a systems thinking approach to market development recognizes the interrelated forces impacting sustainable access to affordable, high-quality health products and services. Join a panel of experts as they explore the innovative, practical applications of systems thinking in healthcare and the pivotal role it plays in fostering meaningful, locally led partnerships tailored to the unique needs of communities.
