Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO says: "In just the past decade, health has benefited from unprecedented attention and resources. Powerful partnerships have formed. The number of implementing agencies working in health is far greater than that in any other sector. The number of funding mechanisms continues to grow, as does the size of resources they command. Health has never before received such attention or enjoyed such wealth. Today, health benefits from commitment, partnerships, resources, powerful interventions, and proven strategies for their implementation. With so much working in our favour, we can see what is holding us back. It is this. The power of interventions is not matched by the power of health systems to deliver them to those in greatest need, on an adequate scale, in time. Governments around the world have failed, sometimes for decades, to invest adequately in basic health infrastructures, regulatory frameworks, and the health workforce."
