The Importance of Health Systems

The importance of health systems has been reinforced by the commitment of Low- and Middle-Income Countries (L&MICs) to pursue the targets of Universal Health Coverage, Health Security, and to achieve Health-related Sustainable Development Goals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the fragility of health systems in countries of all income groups.
