Overview
First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR)
'Science to Accelerate Universal Health Coverage'
This first symposium is dedicated to improving the scientific evidence needed by health policy-makers and practitioners to inform their decisions related to accelerating universal health coverage.
Its specific objectives are to:-
• share state-of-the art research on universal health coverage;
• develop a global agenda of priority research on accelerating progress towards universal health coverage;
• facilitate greater research collaboration and learning communities across disciplines, sectors, initiatives and countries;
• strengthen the scientific rigor of the field of health systems research including concepts, frameworks, measures and methods;
• identify mechanisms for strengthening capacities – individual, institutional and infrastructural – for research on health systems particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
The Global Forum for Health Research is honoured to be a founding partner and involved with the WHO-based Symposium Secretariat, which works towards the planning and preparation of the event.
