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!
