Health Systems Strengthening - what others thought

Jocalyn Clark blogged about my workshop on PLoS Medicine:

I also received a summary of the feedback forms and people really enjoyed the day, particularly the two part format with an overview of the theory in the morning and experiences from the field in the afternoon. And almost everyone said what they learned will affect their practice :) Really chuffed and happy that people found the workshop useful. Thanks again to my speakers and Anne Radl for her support - I wouldn't have been able to do this without you :)
