Existing facilities could be supported with renovations; new equipment; ongoing funding for consumables and drugs; and training and supervision for staff. New facilities could also be built and equipped in partnership with the local health authorities to be owned by them. Funding would need to be available for staffing and consideration given to their need for support for future on-going costs such as maintenance, refresher training, drugs and consumables.
In the areas of prevention, communications, surveillance, monitoring and evaluation there is also value in working with and through local health systems.
