During 2 days of the HSG Preconference in Katowice we gathered global experts in the field of public health to discuss critical topics that will shape the future of health systems.
Thanks to these speakers and many others, Ukraine remains a central topic on the global agenda, with continued discussions on how to strengthen and reform our health systems in these challenging times.

  • World Bank
  • WHO Europe PHC Centre - Almaty

Key discussions revolved around essential questions:

  • Health financing: What structures enhance health systems' preparedness, responses, and recovery from crises like pandemics, economic shocks, and conflicts?
  • Primary Health Care: How do PHC-oriented health systems strengthen the capacity to respond to and recover from such crises?
  • Governance: How can informality and corruption be tackled in the pursuit of more equitable, sustainable, and resilient health systems?
  • Democratic institutions: What roles do inclusive policy processes and enhanced transparency play in ensuring just and resilient health systems, particularly during crises?
  • The discussions provided profound insights into the future of global health. This event is to be continued, and we look forward to even more collaboration and learning in the future. Together, we are building stronger, more resilient health systems!
