WHO supports countries to build comprehensive and efficient systems and capacities to generate and utilize health data to monitor health risks and determinants, evaluate health system performance and functionality, identify morbidity and mortality patterns, and assess health status and inequalities.

Building resilient health systems that can provide needed services to people requires strong financing and governance capacities of national authorities. WHO supports Member States to design, implement and monitor health financing policies to reduce the number of people suffering financial hardship when accessing essential health care services. WHO also supports countries in the development, implementation, monitoring and review of their national policies, legal frameworks and plans, in an inclusive participatory manner, as tools for strengthening health governance.
