| Abstract | In sub-Saharan Africa, the interface between vertical programs and general health services is far from optimal. Our research, conducted in Cameroon, studied the effects of control programs against tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS on the functioning of district hospitals. These programs have both positive and negative effects on hospital services. The net result cannot be reduced to a simple arithmetic in which positive effects would outweigh negative effects. Indeed, some effects jeopardize the structural and systemic capacities to manage local health systems. In addition, real opportunities to develop synergies between programs and general health services and strengthen local health systems are not grasped by stakeholders. We propose to better monitor and rank program effects on general health services; strengthen the stewardship capacities of managers; and ensure that opportunities for sustainable health systems strengthening are seized by all stakeholders. |
