As policymakers seek to innovate and transform their health systems to address pressing challenges, what is the role of Primary Health Care (PHC) and PHC reforms in strengthening health systems resilience? How could integrating the notion of resilience in health reforms, by focusing especially on PHC, help ensure more future-proof health systems?
This webinar will highlight the key role of PHC as a cornerstone of health system resilience and explore how strengthening PHC, through timely and innovative reforms, bolsters health systems resilience. Moreover, it will highlight European success stories whereby structural PHC reforms supported by the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, contribute to health systems resilience and investing in a future-oriented approach towards improved delivery of care.
