Health systems after COVID-19 - Building resilience through a valuebased approach
Health system resilience has been rising in the political agenda throughout the last decade, becoming a key political priority. Even before COVID-19, the European Commission had defined it as a top policy item in 2014, focusing on factors that can reinforce it. The onset of COVID-19 presents rare momentum to realize ambitious reforms and establish a new paradigm for defining and building health system resilience, that will also answer the long-term health challenges Europe faces. The pandemic highlighted certain elements and dimensions of resilience, prompting the creation of scorecards and dashboards to navigate its multiple aspects, including contributions from the European Commission 2020 Strategic Foresight Report and the EU expert group on Health Systems Performance Assessment.
