WHAT WE DO

Health systems strengthening
Strengthening

HEALTH SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING


We support equity and health systems bottleneck analysis linked to evidence-based planning and budgeting through the development of strategic plans and investment cases to ground national responses in solid evidence. We stay the course to help countries translate strategic plans and investment cases into operational plans and models of health systems, including primary health care and community-based systems. We help establish real-time program monitoring systems to facilitate close progress tracking and timely course correction.


Assurance

PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE


We support the design of public health programs grounded on solid evidence and we undertake ongoing program reviews to ensure they are effectively implemented and on track to achieve the intended results. ICHESS applies the 5E+2S formula (Evidence, Execution, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Equity, Scalability and Sustainability) to facilitate quality programming at all stages, maximize program effectiveness towards UHC and sustain the gains.

Modeling

DEVELOPMENT OF MODELS


We design, validate and implement health and community system models adapted to low-income settings, taking into account local epidemiology, system design, culture and resources. We leverage the power of technologies to improve systems effectiveness and efficiency. We support the implementation of quality interventions in the provinces with the aim of bringing them to achieve exceptional performance and stand out in national surveys (DHS or MICS), thus serving as learning hubs for an accelerated response to UHC.


Leadership

HEALTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT


We identify potential leaders at all levels (policy, health systems and communities) and prepare them, through training, coaching and mentorship, to become champions of change by making their programs, regions, provinces, districts, institutions and communities shine as centers of high performance and learning hubs for others.

INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT


Through research, we develop and test new technologies, adapted to the context of low-income countries, to improve the quality, delivery and monitoring of health services.


Science

EVIDENCE GENERATION


We document program and project experiences in strengthening health systems, in particular primary health care and community-based systems; as well as the cost of implementation and the contextual factors to facilitate cost-effectiveness analysis and better understand the determinants of change, in particular who is affected, where and why. We assess the impact through evaluation and research and facilitate the dissemination in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

IT SOLUTIONS & DATA SECURITY

ICHESS designs and deploys IT solutions for health programs: digital data collection tools, server-hosted field survey platforms, databases and dashboards for real-time monitoring. Protecting the data entrusted to us by ministries of health, partners and communities is built into every solution.

  • Continuous network monitoring: our IT team uses automated scripts to monitor our systems, detect unauthorized or suspicious applications and disconnect them immediately, preventing any data leak or unauthorized extraction.
  • Layered access control: access to our infrastructure is protected by multi-factor authentication at several levels, with an additional authentication layer for our most sensitive databases.
  • Automatic backups: our data is backed up automatically to ensure business continuity and rapid recovery.
