People at the heart of health services in peace and crisis
The 43rd World Hospital Congress will be emphasizing the importance of people-centered health services in times of peace and crisis. The situation of crisis is making people more vulnerable, and health services must provide such protection as they do when life is a quiet river. To respond to peoples’ expectations, health services must be supported by investments contributing to prosperity of the country, resilience to all possible issues, and innovation to increase health gain. To bring people at the heart of health services in peace and in times of crisis, health services must be responsive, supportive and prospective.
The 43rd World Hospital congress will be exploring how health services can be more:
- Responsive through better resilience
- Supportive through appropriate health investments
- Prospective through health impactful innovations
