Systems diagram showing health system components as green circles: Financing, Workforce, Digital Health, and Service Delivery, with Governance, Outputs, and Outcomes as rectangles. Arrows represent empirically tested, hypothesized, and feedback pathways according to the legend.

Conceptual framework of health system performance determinants. sources: The framework adapts WHO (32) building blocks (workforce, financing, service delivery, information systems as digital health); Roberts et al. (5) control knobs (financing, payment, organization, regulation, behaviour integrated into Governance and Inputs); and de Savigny and Adam (4) complex adaptive systems (feedback loops, context moderation, emergent properties via dashed arrows and external context). Thicker arrows indicate empirically tested pathways (SEM results, Table 1).
