Abstract
Following the First Global Symposium
on Health Systems Research in
Montreux in November 2010, PLoS
Medicine commissioned three articles
on the state-of-the-art in Health
Policy and Systems Research (HPSR).
Three Policy Forum articles, authored
by a diverse group of global
health academics, critically examine
the current challenges to the field
and lay out what is needed to build
capacity in HPSR and support local
policy development and health systems
strengthening, especially in
low- and middle-income countries.
