Health system sustainability
A sustainable health system improves population health by continually delivering the key functions of providing services, generating resources, financing and stewardship, incorporating principles of financial fairness, equity in access, responsiveness and efficiency of care, and does so in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Health system resilience
A resilient health system is able to prevent, respond to, manage the health system impact of, and recover and learn from, acute and chronic crises (including, but not limited to, pandemic threats, climate change and economic and technological shocks), minimising their short- and long-term impacts on health, social and economic wellbeing.
