Global Health Partnerships in Contemporary World: An Overview, Orientation and Evolution
Abstract
Introduction: Global health partnerships have become increasingly important in addressing the global burden of disease and improving health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. However, the factors that contribute to the success or failure of these partnerships are not well understood.
Objective: This article aims to analyse the associated factors behind global health partnerships by conducting a systematic review of the literature.
Methodology: The study is based on the systematic review which identified several key factors that are associated with successful partnerships, including clear goals and objectives, effective communication and
collaboration, shared values and vision, adequate funding and resources, and strong leadership and governance. In addition, contextual factors such as political and economic stability, cultural norms and beliefs, and health system capacity were found to influence partnership outcomes.
Conclusion: The findings of the study have important implications for policymakers and practitioners working in global health partnerships, highlighting the importance of considering a range of factors when designing and implementing these partnerships to maximise their impact and sustainability.
