Abstract

“Health Governance” refers to policy agenda setting processes, implementation and accountability within the health sector. It includes the management and administration of policies and resources in health, including processes for health systems strengthening.
“Governance for Health” describes a far more multifaceted and complex process of intersectoral collaboration and policy agenda setting, formulation, implementation and accountability whereby multiple sectors, groups of actors and levels of action collaborate and intertwine with the goal of fostering equitable health development.
“Governance for Health” thus involves a large number of stakeholders in policy processes and transcends the boundaries of not only specific sectors (e.g. health, trade) but also ‘levels’ of governance (i.e. local, national, regional, international).
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an approach to medical practice intended to optimize decision-making by emphasizing the use of evidence from well designed and conducted research. Although all medicine based on science has some degree of empirical support, EBM goes further, classifying evidence by its strength and requiring that only the strongest types (coming from meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials) can yield strong recommendations
