Analysing Disrupted Health Systems (ADHS)

“It was a great opportunity for me to have attended this course. I find the ADHS course a complete one where theory is put in practice and where field experiences enrich both participants and facilitators.Key among the lessons I drew from this course is that most of our health systems especially in the developing world are either disrupted or are possible candidates for disruption. I therefore recommend this course for all those that require knowledge and skills in improving health systems the World over.”

“The Analyzing Disrupted Health System (ADHS) course was a practical and useful opportunity for me. It was interesting to analyze, compare and share the experience with other health professionals as well as friendly facilitators. I learned about the gap which was similar with other contexts that experiencing or experienced in a fragile states. I learned that there is no same health system among countries neither in developing nor in developed countries. Each health system is unique with its own challenges but there are some basic concepts in terms of quality of care, effectiveness, efficiency of the health services delivery and etc. We discussed very technical and practical solutions and came across with adaption of useful conceptual frameworks in certain situation. I highly recommend this course to test your ability and sharing of knowledge with others”

The ADHS course was well organized and very much relevant to the people working in fragile states. The amalgamation of students all around the globe, interactive session and their rich experience in field provided a great learning opportunity. The facilitation, presentation and group work was superb. I found that despite of challenge and fragility one can still find a way out for working. One has to follow a logical sequence for analyzing the disrupted health system of a country. I would highly recommend the course to people working with states, donor agencies working in fragile state!”

"As Emergency Manager working for WHO in North East Nigeria, The ADHS course was very relevant to the Humanitarian and Development Nexus, the course was tailored towards the New ways of Working (NWOW) in the ensuring one had a clear understanding of analyzing the disrupted health Systems in various countries.
I also gained a lot of exposure to and from other colleagues from different parts of the world which I found very valuable. After attending the course, I started to apply the skills that I learnt. This has contributed greatly to the end results of projects I work on. I was able to organize an adapted ADHS Nigeria Specific training for Nigeria in Lagos. I can recommend this course (ADHS) to other colleagues working in disrupted health systems all over the world."

"It has been an illuminating and a life-changing experience, particularly the international group of students, all with huge experience and expertise. Fantastically well taught with presentations from leading
experts in their field. A very positive learning atmosphere with conversations and laughter which took the whole group together."

Studying at KIT has expanded my horizon to address public health concerns in a different perspective. It has allowed me to integrate policy, economics, governance, social determinants and health circumstances to find solutions for a better sustainable health system. The ADHS course was a great opportunity to exchange experiences from experts working worldwide, to understand diversity, create atmospheres to strengthen our roles in our work environment. As a Palestinian living in a chronic disrupted system, this course has provided me with insight to address when working on the policy level.

"The ADHS course has been a great opportunity to interact and share experiences and knowledge with professionals from different countries, with different backgrounds working in different sectors and in different contexts.
Analysing disrupted health systems together with participants from the public sector, NGOs, and donors under the guidance of experienced facilitators has increased my understanding of the complexities behind emergencies and crisis, and my awareness on policies and strategies that could be effective in other relevant contexts."

"The skills acquired in the course have been very relevant to me as public health practitioner. Health systems form the fundaments of any countryin the world. Having spent the last few years coordinating and managing health programs in developing nations, I feel that the course equipped me with the necessary skills to be able to make decisions as a health manager.
Having come from Kenya and worked extensively in the region, I feel that this course helped building my knowledge in disrupted health systems. As I strive to contribute in building a functional and sustainable health system in Kenya I have a wider view of how health systems interact with all the other functions of governance."
