Call for urgent action to ensure health system resilience and sustainability

As a direct result of the Summit held on 30-31 January 2022, a number of prominent global health and policy leaders signed a global call to action to re-build health system integrity following the COVID-19 pandemic: Call for urgent action to ensure health system resilience and sustainability.

The statement urges stakeholders across healthcare, government, academia and business to see healthcare not as a cost, but as an investment - and commits to collaborating across borders so the greatest health crisis of our lifetime can become the catalyst for stronger health systems.

The Summit also hosted discussion of key innovations to support system recovery amongst members of the PHSSR, which welcomed several new countries to the unique multilateral partnership during the event.
