ज्ञान उच्च प्रदर्शन गर्ने स्वास्थ्य प्रणाली, सफल नीतिहरू, र राष्ट्रिय र क्षेत्रीय स्वास्थ्य लक्ष्यहरूको उपलब्धिको आधार हो। ज्ञान management has a big role to play, by encouraging continuous learning and sharing—and the application of that knowledge to services—leading to health systems that are responsive to patient and population needs.

In practice, knowledge management can take many forms. It includes activities that:

• help information flow between people, organizations, and countries so that they can share experiences and expertise,
• present information in ways that are easy for people to access, understand and apply to their context,
• nurture lasting practices of learning and sharing that are authentic to where people are.

जब विश्वव्यापी स्वास्थ्य कार्यबल सदस्यहरूले आफूलाई थाहा भएको कुरा साझा गर्छन्, र उनीहरूलाई आवश्यक पर्ने कुराहरू फेला पार्न सक्छन्, कार्यक्रमहरू उनीहरूको पूर्ण क्षमतामा पुग्न र महँगो गल्तीहरू दोहोर्याउनबाट बच्न सक्षम हुन्छन्। यसको अर्थ व्यक्ति, समुदाय र स्वास्थ्य प्रणालीका लागि राम्रो परिणाम हो। 

Knowledge management can take on different forms depending on people’s needs and the challenges you’re trying to solve.  

• मानिसहरूलाई सँगै ल्याउँदै सोध्नु questions and elicit tacit knowledge — or the know-how in people’s heads
• ज्ञान प्रदान गर्दै (वा बताउँदै यो) मानिसहरूको परिभाषित समूहहरूमा
• प्रकाशन र खोज्दै स्पष्ट ज्ञान साझा गर्न र मानिसहरूलाई आवश्यक पर्ने जानकारी तान्न अनुमति दिने दृष्टिकोणहरू

When implemented successfully, knowledge management has lasting impact. Resources are optimized when countries and partners can practice evidence-based decision-making, learning, and adaptation. Public health programs that often have ambitious goals, but possess limited time, money, and human resources to execute the work, can rapidly learn what works and what does not and adapt their work.
