Evidence informed health policy making: role of evidence in six health policies in India and Nigeria

چکیده
Introduction The importance of evidence-informed health policy making is widely recognised and frameworks exist to help understand the roles of different types of evidence [1,2]. However, there is limited application of these frameworks in empirical studies, particularly to inform learning and improve evidence-informed health policy development in LMICs.
