The District Health System

Abstract
"The district health system is still the core piece of health system development, and with the decentralisation trends apparent in many countries, it has continued to increase in importance. The manual is intended to support those on the ground who are involved in the reform of health systems in general or in attempts to improve the district health systems in low-income countries, particularly in Africa. The manual can be considered as Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit ‘s(GTZ) collective experience in the field of district health system development."
