The Future of Health Systems: Building Resilient Health Systems In a Changing World

In the fourth installment of our webinar series, listen to an insightful discussion about health systems resilience - with a spotlight on marginalized and vulnerable populations - and why it is essential for health systems to prepare, adapt, and respond to everyday and extraordinary challenges and stressors - such as climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and conflict. The enlightening discussion with panelists focused on the fact that the ability to sustain the health of communities and effectively respond to these very challenges relies on the resilience of our health system structures, communities, and decision-makers to ensure quality essential and routine health services. Panelists highlighted emerging interventions and policies that they themselves have found to be effective in their work around the world and the importance of learning from crises, such as after a drought, the West Africa Ebola outbreak, or COVID-19 pandemic.
