The Future of Global Health Systems

UCL Minds

About the lecture: Global health systems focus on governance and coordination across institutions, health systems, and countries to improve health outcomes. However, these systems have been challenged over the past few years with the Covid-19 pandemic. With the economic and workforce strains of coping with the pandemic, global health agendas have been insufficiently financed, causing a weakening of collaboration. What does the future hold for global health in a period of nationalism and self-reliance? Will the post-pandemic period re-ignite multilateralism and a strengthening of global health systems to deliver on the sustainable development goal for universal healthcare coverage for all?
