The COVID-19 Health Systems Response Monitor benefits from evidence provided by an extensive network of researchers and policy experts in the countries making up the WHO European Region. They include members of the Observatory’s Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM). The Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM) is an international network of high profile institutions with a prestigious reputation and academic standing in health systems and policy analysis. Members contribute to a range of products that support evidence-based health policymaking in the European region, including Health Systems in Transition (HiT) reports and the HSPM Monitor which tracks important reform and policy initiatives occurring in a wide range of countries.  Other contributing experts are based in WHO National Country Office across the European Region, sharing their policy insights and knowledge on how countries are responding to the numerous impacts of the  COVID-19 pandemic.
