Solution of Barriers in Leadership
Collaboration of Health & Non-health Organisations
Determinants of health – social, economic, demographic, geographic, politics
Most health determinants lie outside scope of health sector, esp. social & economic
Inter-sectoral action → improved health equity Inters-sectoral action – within and between sectors at
local, regional, provincial, national and global levels Collaboration – creates a supportive environment and
enhance access to marginalised populations Not a new concept in health
(Ndumne-Eyoh and Moffatt, 2013)
Alma Ata Declaration – Inter-sectoral Collaboration (ISC)
Section VII (4) - PHC- involves, in addition to the health
sector, all related aspects of national and community development, in particular, agriculture, animal husbandry, food, industry, education, housing, public works, communication and other sectors,
- demands the coordinated efforts of all these sectors
Section VIII- All government should formulate
national policies, strategies and plans of action to launch and sustain PHC as part of a comprehensive national health system and in coordination with others sectors. To this end, it will be necessary to exercise political will, to mobilise the countries resources and to use available external resources rationally.
(Adeleye and Ofili, 2010)
Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
Indicators closely relate to PHC tenets, esp. maternal & child health, water & environment and poverty reduction
However, ISC not formally presented as a MDG strategy
ICS required – achievement of MDG outcomes is dependent on inputs from other sectors
Inter-sectoral Action for Health (IAH) WHO defined IAH as:- “A recognised relationship between part or parts of the
health sector with parts of another sector which has been formed to take action on an issue to achieve health outcomes (or intermediate outcomes) in a way that is more effective, efficient or sustainable than could be achieved by the health sector acting alone”
- Involvement of parts of sector → structural, functional or conceptual in nature
- Aim → relationship formed will achieve improved effectiveness, efficiency & sustainability
Best Practice & Behaviour in leading ISC/IAH
Applied at political level down to community level Current HC environment & reforms → transform HC delivery, both
culturally and structurally Creative thinking and adaptive leadership ensure HC orgs. & networks
formed are sustainable – achieve health outcomes Competencies required of leaders & other orgs must continue to evolve Change is inevitable and requires a collaborative interdependent culture
and solutions that cut across function, region and profession Leaders must move towards models that leverages cross-boundry
groups and teams and span sectors, disciplines, levels, functions, generations and professions
(Browning et. al., 2011)
Conclusion Effective collaboration among health and non-health organisations in
the public, private and NGO sector can positively impact determinants of health and lead to achievement of health outcomes especially in PHC
Collaborative leadership is essential in setting the direction for the desired outcomes and the mobilisation of required resources
Challenge - neglect of ISC:o non-health PHC strategies, out of health sector controlo PHC not an agenda for non-health sectorso Lack of practical initiatives from health sector towards ISC
