Integration ‘integration’—a term loosely used to describe a variety of organizational arrangements for a range of programmes in different settings. we define integration as the extent, pattern, and rate of adoption and eventual assimilation of health interventions into each of the critical functions of a health system which include, (i) governance, (ii) financing, (iii) planning, (iv) service delivery, (v) monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and (vi) demand generation.
