Launch (Organised by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies)

HYBRID EVENT - Monday, 12 September 13:30-15:00 IST (Tel Aviv), 12:30-14:00 CEST

The Health System in Action (HSiA) Insights are a set of short summaries that capture what is happening in non-EU Member States; highlight progress and challenges country by country; and provide context for the WHO/Europe’s European Programme of Work and its Roadmaps for Health and Wellbeing. 

They aim to support decision makers with quick, easily accessible and concise evidence to help countries spot the key issues and how their country measures up over time and against their peers.

 

The HSiA Insights will be launched during WHO’s 72^nd Regional Committee for Europe in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Launch will:

• Introduce the (14) Insights as a tool for ministries as they strengthen their health systems and as a baseline for future comparisons.

• Show through the eyes of four Member States Israel, Georgia, Montenegro and Tajikistan how concise health systems evidence gives a “helicopter” view of issues; facilitates debate with other ministries; and builds an understanding of what works and of the lessons in other countries.

• Show case Regional Office and countries’ efforts on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
