GHSH acts as a neutral, non-governmental methodological partner — supporting ministries, agencies, and public institutions in designing, evaluating, and implementing health system protection systems. Our approach is based on verified data, recognized international standards, and a transparent methodology. We ensure full confidentiality of conversations and independence from commercial vendors.
The result of every collaboration with GHSH is concrete, institutionally useful artifacts — strategic documents, operating models, and measurement frameworks ready for implementation or further processing within administrative structures.
Diagnosis of the system state with identification of operational, regulatory, and competency gaps. A document ready to be delivered to ministry leadership.
A sequenced reform plan with phases, resources, and institutional responsibilities. Aligned with national policy priorities.
Governance structures, a responsibility matrix (RACI), escalation procedures, and inter-ministerial coordination mechanisms.
A set of performance indicators tailored to system goals — with a baseline, aggregation method, and reporting schedule.
Assessment of the current data and systems architecture and recommendations for information exchange standards (HL7 FHIR, IHE, SNOMED CT).
A pilot project with intervention logic, target group, timeline, and success criteria enabling a scaling decision.
GHSH offers three engagement pathways tailored to the stage of institutional readiness and the scope of planned reforms. Each model precisely defines the scope, duration, and organizational requirements on the country side.
Time: 4–8 weeks
Scope: System diagnosis, gap mapping, prioritization of intervention areas, initial recommendations.
Outputs: Diagnostic report, priority matrix, leadership presentation.
Country-side requirements: Contact point (ministry/agency), access to aggregated data, 2–3 working workshops.
Time: 8–16 weeks
Scope: Designing the reform roadmap, governance structure, and measurement system.
Outputs: Strategic roadmap, governance model with RACI, KPI framework, implementation documentation.
Country-side requirements: Dedicated project team (3–5 people), access to operational data, monthly working sessions.
Time: 16–36 weeks
Scope: Designing, implementing, and evaluating a pilot with a scaling recommendation.
Outputs: Pilot evaluation report, scaling model, knowledge transfer documentation, institutionalization plan.
Country-side requirements: Political decision on the pilot, test region/unit, operating budget, national coordinator.
Each stage of the process involves precisely defined stakeholders — from the contact point in the ministry, through implementing agencies and external GHSH experts, to political leadership for key decisions. Role clarity eliminates misunderstandings and speeds up implementation.

Data exchange standards, registry integration, e-health architecture.
Governance structures, regulations, oversight, and institutional coordination.
Reporting systems, data aggregation, system performance indicators.
Payment models, resource allocation efficiency, financing of services.

Quality standards, business continuity, system resilience to crises.
GHSH operates as a non-profit organization with no equity ties to technology vendors, pharmaceutical companies, or other commercial entities in the health sector. The partnership principles are transparent and available for review before collaboration begins.
GHSH does not recommend specific products or technology solutions. All recommendations are based solely on evidence and the needs of the system.
Every expert involved in a project submits a declaration of no conflict of interest. The rules are published and available to partner institutions.
All conversations, working documents, and data shared by the institution are covered by a confidentiality protocol. NDA available upon request before the first briefing.
Aggregated data are processed in accordance with GHSH's information security policy. We do not process patients' personal data.
All data processing processes comply with GDPR regulations. Process documentation is available to the partner institution's DPO.
Frequently asked questions from representatives of ministries and government agencies considering collaboration with GHSH.
The first step is an introductory briefing (60–90 minutes) with a representative from the ministry or agency. The briefing is free and confidential. It is intended for mutual understanding of priorities and possible support pathways. After the briefing, GHSH prepares a proposed scope of collaboration.
The introductory briefing is free. Collaboration models A, B, and C are implemented based on individual arrangements — both paid formats and institutional partnerships within support programs are possible. Details are discussed individually with each institution.
An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) can be signed before the first briefing, at the institution's request. GHSH uses a standard NDA template or accepts the partner institution's template. The signing process does not require lawyers — it typically takes 1–3 business days.
No. GHSH acts as a neutral methodological advisor. Our recommendations concern standards, processes, and organizational models — not specific technology products or vendors. This eliminates the risk of conflicts of interest and ensures objective assessments.
We work exclusively with aggregated data — we do not require personal data. The minimum scope depends on the collaboration model and is precisely agreed upon before signing the agreement. In the Discovery model, publicly available data and the institution's strategic documents are sufficient.
Every collaboration ends with a defined KPI framework and baseline. The indicators are agreed with the institution before work begins and relate to the goals of the system, not GHSH activities. This enables the institution to independently monitor progress after the project ends.
In the Discovery model, one point of contact is enough (e.g., a department director). In models B and C, we recommend a team of 3–5 people from different substantive units. Political leadership is required only for key decisions — scope approval and results presentation.
Each project is managed with a clear governance structure: a coordinator on GHSH's side, a point of contact on the institution's side, regular working sessions, and clearly defined milestones. Project documentation is available to the institution throughout the collaboration.
GHSH works with institutions in many countries, which enables — with the consent of all parties — the exchange of anonymized experiences and benchmarking. Partner institutions may participate in international working groups and knowledge-sharing sessions organized by GHSH.
GHSH has experience working with multiple institutions at the same time within one country. In such cases, we design an inter-ministerial coordination structure as part of the deliverables. An agreed lead coordinator on the administration side is required in advance.
