Comparative Perspectives on Health Governance as Political Practice: A Commentary

Viola Burau

Abstract

Health governance is political as it is tied to goals specific to individual health systems. The best health governance is context-specific. Health governance is a collective practice that involves stakeholders across levels and sectors. The universality of health governance offers great opportunities for learning across jurisdictions. The view across borders is best at inspiring self-reflection about what is good enough health governance in one's health system. Health governance affords political and administrative crafts(wo)manship, drawing on in-depth knowledge of one's health system, excelling at collaboration and being open to experiences from other jurisdictions as a tool of self-reflection.
