About the Flagship Global Module

The Health Systems Flagship Global Module is a World Bank initiative designed to enhance the capacity of policymakers, practitioners, and World Bank staff in navigating the complexities of health sector reform. The Core Module is built around the Flagship framework, which promotes a systems-based approach to health system reform, focusing on strategic thinking, problem-solving, and sustainable financing to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The module engages participants in high-level policy discussions in a non-prescriptive manner, providing options for reform and highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, allowing them to tailor solutions based on their unique country contexts.

Since its inception, the module has been delivered to over 36,000 participants in 70+ countries. It combines theory with practical application, using real-world case studies and guided discussions on policy options, implementation challenges, and strategies for successful health system reform.

By focusing on real-world application, the Flagship Core Module provides a solid foundation for conceptualizing and implementing comprehensive health reforms that consider cultural, political, and ethical contexts, as well as the specific capabilities and constraints of each country.
