Following the Ebola crisis in Liberia in 2014-15, the Liberian Ministry of Health developed a strategy to build a fit-for-purpose health workforce, focusing on both health care providers and health managers. To help fulfill national capacity-building goals for health management, a team of faculty, staff, and practitioners from the Yale School of Medicine, the University of Liberia, the National Public Health Institute of Liberia, and the Ministry of Health collaboratively developed and launched the health management program in Liberia in July 2017. The team worked to build specific management and leadership competencies for healthcare workers serving in management and leadership roles in Liberia's health sector using two concurrent strategies-1) implementation of a hospital-based partnership-mentorship model in the two largest hospitals in the capital city of Monrovia, and 2) establishment of an executive education-style advanced Certificate in Health Systems Leadership and Management at the University of Liberia. Here we describe the health management program in Liberia, its focus, and its evolution from program launch in 2017 to the present, as well as ongoing efforts to transition program activities to local partner ownership by the end of 2021.
在 2014-2015 年利比里亚爆发埃博拉危机之后，利比里亚卫生部制定了一项战略，以建立一支适合特定用途的卫生劳动力队伍，重点关注医疗保健提供者和卫生管理人员。为了帮助实现国家卫生管理能力建设目标，耶鲁大学医学院、利比里亚大学、利比里亚国家公共卫生研究所和卫生部的一组教师、工作人员和从业者合作，于 2017 年 7 月在利比里亚推出了卫生管理方案。该团队努力使用两种并行策略为在利比里亚卫生部门担任管理和领导职务的医疗保健工作者建立具体的管理和领导能力-1）在首都蒙罗维亚的两家最大医院实施基于医院的伙伴关系指导模式，2）在利比里亚大学建立执行教育式高级卫生系统领导和管理证书。在这里，我们描述了利比里亚的卫生管理方案，其重点以及自 2017 年方案启动以来的演变，以及目前正在努力将方案活动过渡到 2021 年底由当地合作伙伴拥有。
