Policy evaluation --- Coming from a country that faces all the challenges mentioned, I argue that we most need a policy evaluation and policy change or modification in the health sector. Innovations around medicines for common diseases and conditions are not supported, funding and research is largely left to private institutions or individuals. Health financing is poor and we unfortunately get constant protests by medical workers and students over the poor pays. As a country, we have capacity to do better, but poor appropriation of the resources at hand by our policy makers. A policy evaluation (M&E as @Muna stated) would help get farther than we are now. I would add that we also need better policy makers.
