Event Description
The rapid pace of technological, scientific, socio-demographic change offers opportunities for unheralded achievements in health while also causing unforeseen disruptions that threaten the ability of communities and health systems to adapt and thrive. To achieve the ambitious targets set out in the Sustainable Development Goals, the global community needs smarter and more cost-effective, responsive investments in health that create synergies among people, communities and health systems and promote resilience.
This two-day learning event will bring together over 300 of the world’s leading health sector and other development professionals to discuss examine how individuals and communities can contribute to building resilient health systems. Cracking the Nut Health: The Role of Communities in Building Resilient Health Systems will provide a demand-driven, collaborative learning space where participants can share experiences and thought leadership on programs, methodologies, strategies and tools; network to build partnerships; and gain new technical capacities to build the fields of community and global health.
