19. Strengthened Health systems and enhanced health equity

Activities

The research use that occurs is expected to create a change in the health system of the LMIC country of interest.  Changes in the health system are expected to cause an improvement in health equity, ultimately reducing the disparities in health within and between countries in a way that is sustainable.  
There are various activities, which occurred simultaneously throughout the research process which contributed to the ability for research to be used to impact the health system.  This includes activities aimed at generating knowledge, enhancing research capacity, strengthening relationships between researchers, and enabling both knowledge users and researchers. 
In addition, health system improvement necessitates other inputs including the involvement of stakeholders within the health care system and a political climate which is conducive to change.  As a result, the impact of this research process is one of many causal agents within a much broader process of health system change.
