International Decision Support Initiative (iDSI)

2024

The International Decision Support Initiative (iDSI) is a global network of health, policy and economic expertise, working to achieve Universal Health Coverage and The Health Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 3). They are committed to robust evidence, analysis and decision-making that policymakers, funders and researchers can use to balance trade-offs between different policy options and model potential results to make the best choice available. They support countries to make better decisions about how much public money to spend on healthcare and how to make that money go further.

Available resources include a knowledge gateway that contains journal articles, technical reports and tools such as the iDSI Reference Case.

Their values include:

  1. Everyone should have fair access to health, receiving the right treatment and the right medicines at the right time.
  2. Health systems need to develop and maintain their own skills so they can make the best use of finite resources to solve problems for current and future generations.
  3. Sustainable and progressive health systems are only possible when they engage and involve those with a stake in its success, from the public through to funders.

iDSI is supported by funding from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the UK Department for International Development, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
