Health Policy & Regulatory Strengthening

The International Training and Education Center for Health (ITECH) has broad expertise in strengthening health care regulatory systems in low- and middle-income countries. I-TECH’s approach to regulatory strengthening emphasizes the importance of sustainability and country ownership, by working with ministries of health, health professional councils, and health professional associations to:

• Conduct sound situational analyses and needs assessments;
• Develop standard operating procedures to efficiently operationalize and scale key regulatory activities
• Develop regulatory information management systems;
• Develop standards to establish consistent expectations for high quality health services
• Develop continuing professional development frameworks and guidelines.
