According to her, the approach aims to ensure successful implementation and meaningful impact on healthcare delivery.
"Developing a comprehensive strategy begins with understanding the foundational elements that need to be in place"

"Mainstreaming initiatives involves integrating them seamlessly into the broader organizational framework, ensuring that they are not seen as isolated efforts but as integral parts of the strategic vision"
"When we talk about mainstreaming, we mean embedding our initiatives into every aspect of our operations," Agyemang emphasized.
"This ensures that our projects are aligned with our overall goals and that their impact is maximized."
"To effectively guide processes, it is crucial to ask the right questions and use appropriate metrics"
This, she added involves identifying the key people involved, the nature of the discussions, and the criteria for measuring success.
"We need to be clear about who is involved in the process, what discussions are taking place, and what metrics we are using to measure success," Agyemang stated.
"These elements are essential for guiding our strategy and ensuring its effectiveness."
"A structured and methodical approach is necessary to align discussions and processes with the long-term vision"
She explained that continuous monitoring and adaptation are also vital to stay on course.
"Guiding these discussions and processes in a structured way is critical," Agyemang noted.
"This will help us align our efforts and ensure we are on the right path for future success."
"The contributions and questions from team members and stakeholders are invaluable in refining the strategy. They provide diverse perspectives and insights that help shape a more effective and inclusive approach"
