Σύνοψη	Scaling Up is the deliberate expansion of successful health interventions from pilot sites to entire health systems, regions, or countries. Formalized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Simmons et al. (2007), scaling up is distinct from simple dissemination; it requires systematic planning, financial modeling, capacity building, and policy alignment to ensure interventions work at scale. A pilot that succeeds brilliantly with champion leadership, dedicated funding, and motivated staff may fail when scaled to routine settings with limited resources. Scaling Up frameworks help practitioners anticipate and overcome these challenges.	Knowledge Translation (KT) is the systematic synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application of research findings to improve health outcomes and healthcare practice. First formalized by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2004, KT recognizes that evidence generation alone does not automatically change clinical or policy behaviour, and structures a purposeful process to bridge the gap between research and practice.
