This article is a correction of the original text entitled "How can middle-income countries successfully transition away from international health aid?".[1][2] Recent research examines the factors contributing to the successful transition of middle-income countries away from international health assistance.[1][2][3] The three key factors are effective leadership, the use of domestic resources to close the financial gap created by the loss of aid, and the reorientation of country systems to new domestic sources of financing.[1][2][3] Effective leadership must be shared by recipient and donor, transparent with agreed milestones and clear communication of progress.[2] It includes political support, legislation, and domestic ownership of health programs.[2] Systems reorientation involves integrating donor programs into national health financing and service delivery systems to avoid disruptions.[2][3] Examples include strengthening the capacity of institutions in El Salvador and Bangladesh to manage funds and supply chains.[3]
