Health systems, international cooperation and health

Research on health systems is the basis for strengthening and improving health services in Italy and in the world by orienting them to  appropriate new models of care and intervention based on scientific evidence. This allows us to guarantee everyone access to quality services, to meet health needs, without incurring financial difficulties associated with their payment.

Support for national health development programs is carried out through collaborations with international organizations and agencies, government and non-governmental bodies (NGOs), universities, civil society and communities in order to support national health development programs, particularly technical assistance in low- and middle-income countries, and technical collaboration for research action components in international cooperative projects.
