The Australian government has supported the social sector in the Solomon Islands for over a decade including substantial efforts to provide equitable, effective and financially feasible health care for the people of the Solomon Islands. One way to ensure this is through health system research to answer key questions with follow-on improvements to programs, clinical and management practices, and health policies based on evidence.
The University of Sydney, the Solomon Islands Ministry of Health and the National Referral Hospital in Honiara are collaborating on a suite of qualitative and quantitative research projects. Overall the aim of the projects are to both produce research/policy outputs as well as support capacity development in the Solomon Islands for health systems and policy research. Projects aim to lead to evidence-based health systems improvements and to date have been in the following areas: health aid coordination (sector-wide approaches), injury/trauma, critical care, referral practices and telemedicine.
