Podcast Episode 2 - Systems Thinking: What It Is and Why It Matters

Systems thinking is essential to the LHSS Project’s work with governments to co-design and co-implement effective measures to strengthen country health systems. But what exactly do we mean by systems thinking?

In this episode, LHSS Technical Director Midori de Habich shares her well-honed understanding of systems thinking -- what it is, why it leads to more successful programs, and how to recognize when it is or is not needed. Following Ms. de Habich, LHSS-Colombia Chief of Party Miguel Pulido discusses how systems thinking is shaping the LHSS-Colombia program, which supports the Colombian government’s work to care for Venezuelan migrants and respond to COVID-19.
