Knowledge Event – Health System and Community Resilience:
Lessons From The COVID-19 Pandemic
Regional Knowledge Event – Health System and Community Resilience: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic in HONG KONG which is offered by the Asia-Pacific Network for Health Systems Strengthening (ANHSS).
The collaborating local institution is the Centre for Health Systems and Policy Research, Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care, Chinese University of Hong Kong, one of the founding members of ANHSS.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis with a protracted and unpredictable course even in countries with preparedness and response plans. Health systems were overwhelmed and were unable to adapt and absorb the demand and face challenges in their capacity to provide essential health functions. The recovery phase of the pandemic, presents an opportunity to synthesize the lessons learnt in country responses to inform policies for health system resilience for the next public health threat.
The Knowledge Event will comprise presentations by key policy decision makers and academics working in the pandemic responses from countries and jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific Region on (i) how they collaborated with their community to prepare, respond, mitigate, adapt in the public health threat, (ii) the lessons learnt in transforming their health systems and (iii) strategies for institutionalizing the knowledge gained for health system and community resilience.
We invite abstracts for poster presentation to present work relating to health system and community resilience in the pandemic.
ANHSS is pleased to invite you to join us in Hong Kong for the 2023 Knowledge Event.
