What makes a resilient and responsive health system? Lessons learned from a multi-country research consortium.
The session is intended to prompt conversation and reflection among researchers and policymakers about resilience and responsiveness in health systems, and the policies and practices that support these, drawing on our research findings. The session will use research drawn from 7 countries to stimulate discussion about the opportunities and challenges for resilient and responsive health systems in a range of contexts and will specifically address a sub-theme of the symposium: ‘Enhancing health system resilience: absorbing shocks and sustaining gains in every setting’.
