Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM)

An innovative platform that provides a detailed description of health systems and provides up-to-date information on reforms and changes that are particularly policy relevant. In parallel, the Health Reform Tracker (see the Tracker tab) provides an overview of health reforms in over 30 countries across the WHO European Region and North America. For detailed information on country policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020-2021, see our separate COVID-19 Health Systems Response Monitor (HSRM).
