As global uncertainty grows, the ability of health systems to withstand shocks is more critical than ever. Understanding how shocks affect these systems—and how to strengthen them—remains a top priority for policymakers and health experts. Resilience must also address ongoing challenges like aging populations, chronic illness and budget shortfalls.
But how have ideas about resilience developed? What do they mean for future planning? And what can policymakers do to build stronger, fairer health systems?
Join us to find out more about enabling health systems resilience through building resilient cities, strengthening governance, and testing health systems in preparation for the future.
