چکیده
Background While much attention is on relatively near-term goals (eg Family Planning (FP) 2020), there is growing interest in and a need to address longer term, in-a-generation “end games” (e.g., to 2035), as well as post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The health supply systems of today need to prepare themselves to take advantage of future trends and opportunities. The next generation will see a number of changes (known and unknown) that will both challenge the ability of public health supply systems to function effectively as they are currently designed and create opportunities for increased efficiency.
