Abstract

This commentary1 outlines the rationale for building community health innovation networks in settings of poverty and high burdens of disease. These networks integrate deep research expertise and sustained implementation infrastructure, with the aim of streamlining the design, building and scale up of evidence-based technical innovations for community health. Drawing on our experiences establishing such networks in Mali and Kenya, we discuss the importance of: 1) sustaining operational capacity to strengthen health systems; 2) being strategic about how we embed design research within ongoing implementation efforts; and 3) institutional partnerships that invest in infrastructure to support a series of studies and innovation efforts over time. Without claiming to offer any 'quick and easy' solutions, we argue that this approach has real potential to address the gap between research and practice in technical innovation for global health and sustainable development.

社区卫生创新网络的案例*

本评论1概述了在贫困和高疾病负担环境中建立社区卫生创新网络的基本原理。这些网络整合了深厚的研究专业知识和持续的实施基础设施，目的是简化以证据为基础的社区卫生技术创新的设计、建设和推广。根据我们在马里和肯尼亚建立此类网络的经验，我们讨论了以下几点的重要性:1)维持业务能力以加强卫生系统;2)战略性地将设计研究嵌入到正在进行的实施工作中;3)机构伙伴关系，投资于基础设施，以支持一系列的研究和创新努力。我们没有声称提供任何“快速和简单”的解决方案，但我们认为，这种方法具有解决全球卫生和可持续发展技术创新方面的研究与实践之间差距的真正潜力。
