| Summary |
The Health Systems Trust continues to rise to the challenge of supporting health sector reform. In so doing, the Trust recognises the ole of district health system in attainment of equity in health service provision. Support of District Systems development, as well as monitoring progress towards equity in health care are thus central elements in all activities of the Trust. |

Over the years the Research Programme of the Health Systems Trust (HST) has become a recognised funder of policy relevant health systems research. The programme is also a resource for capacity development in health systems research. An underlying principle of the Programme is its commitment to link research to implementation while fostering partnerships between researchers, health services and communities. This is in line with the Essential National Health Research strategy adopted by the Department of Health.
As transformation in the health sector continues, the Research programme will also continue to inform national policy debates on a variety of topical issues. However, there is now a clear need for a new health systems research agenda that mirrors the shift from policy formulation to the mechanics of implementation.
Underpinning the shift towards research that is linked to implementation are the principles of equity, efficiency, effectiveness and access to services. These principles will guide the research agenda of the HST. Promoting the use of research findings as well as increasing health systems research capacity remains an integral component of the research programme. |
