AB The  health  of  communities  around  the  world  is  influenced  not  only  by  their  disease  burden,  but  by  local,  regional,  and  global  health  systems,  which  have  a  profound  impact  on  health  promotion  and  the  response  to  health  threats.  A  focus  on  health  system  strengthening  has  been  noted  as  critical  to  achieving  the  goals  of  global  health  enabling  effective  implementation  of  services  and  ensuring  their  sustainability.  This  chapter  describes  the  various  components  of  health  systems  and  their  role  in  ensuring  the  health  of  individuals  and  populations.  It  also  highlights  the  interconnectedness  of  each  of  the  health  system  “building  blocks”  including:  clinical  service  delivery,  governance  and  leadership,  health  financing,  human  resources  for  health,  laboratory  systems,  commodities  and  procurement  systems,  health  information  systems  (HIS),  and  community  engagement  (see  Fig.  21-1).
