What is the cause of the problem?

Broad frameworks for health system problems that could be used include the extent to which the problem is due to delivery, financial and governance arrangements (see Table 3.2),3,4 or to the implementation of existing policies (see SURE Guide 5. Identifying and addressing barriers to implementing the options). Although, for example, the problem may be described initially as a problem with delivery arrangements (e.g. a shortage of health workers in rural areas), the cause of this shortage instead may actually have to do with financial arrangements (e.g. how health workers are remunerated) or governance arrangements (e.g. the licensing of different types of health workers to perform specific tasks).
