In this editorial, the authors first outline the key messages from the World Health Report 2013 and highlight the contributions made by papers from other articles of the journal, Health Research Policy and Systems.
In addition, discuss very recent papers that advance some issues even further.
Finally, they propose additional perspectives that add to the impressive body of evidence and analyses presented in the report. Specifically, they suggest that considering the needs of various stakeholders, as attempted in the UK, in parallel with analysing how to fulfil essential functions, should boost the prospects of successfully building and strengthening health research systems. This is important because research is vital for achieving universal health coverage, and consequently for improving the health of millions of people.
