Public health observatories proactively
investigate health issues to provide robust analytical
evidence to policy makers. This type of organization has
different characteristics from other public health
institutions, such as information-gathering bodies, academic
public health departments, or state employed public health
practitioners. Governments in Latin America have also begun
establishing regional, national, and provincial
observatories. Some of the regional observatories provide
comparisons of countries in the region in areas such as
public health, human resources, food security, and
nutrition. Regional and national health observatories have
become important tools for governments and health ministries
to support national strategic partnerships and to empower
civil society, health sector stakeholders, and health sector
authorities seeking to develop more effective and efficient
health systems. Health observatories are therefore a key
instrument for health systems to generate information, data,
and intelligence on people's health status and the type
and quality of health care delivery. By making all this
information available to health providers and policy makers
in a timely manner, the health observatories will ensure
that their national health systems are results-oriented and
engaged in a continuous process of improving quality and access. |
