Health research activities go far beyond the well-known areas of developing new medicines, treatments and technologies. Research also produces timely and accurate information about a country’s state of health – births, deaths, causes of ill health, and obstacles to improving people’s health and also covers strategic information such as the performance of a country’s health services and interventions in the health sector. This information and evidence is vital for policy makers to make decisions, design strategies and make the right investments.
