ADDRESSING POVERTY-RELATED HEALTH DISPARITIES: MANAGING SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND COMMUNICATIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY

Abstract

Objective: To show successful ways to manage projects and programs to address poverty-related health disparities. Materials and Methods. The study used bibliosemantic, systematic and analytical research methods. Results: The study highlighted key factors driving effectiveness. It found that integrating community engagement, local context understanding, and sustainable resource allocation was critical. Programs that prioritized grassroots involvement, such as training community health workers and tailoring solutions to local needs, achieved better health outcomes. Clear, measurable goals with robust monitoring frameworks also enhanced accountability and impact. Partnerships across governments, NGOs, and the private sector improved resource sharing and coordination. Vertical initiatives, like disease-specific campaigns, succeeded in reducing mortality but faced challenges in addressing broader health system weaknesses. Conclusions. Comprehensive models, like universal health coverage and conditional cash transfer programs, reduced disparities by tackling both immediate health needs and underlying causes. The study emphasized the importance of partnerships between governments, NGOs, and private entities, alongside robust monitoring and adaptive strategies. Combining disease-specific approaches with system-wide reforms is crucial for achieving equitable health outcomes.
