COVID-19 is exposing new gaps in health systems globally while widening existing gaps for global health issues that have been emerging as pandemics for years, such as HIV/AIDS, noncommunicable diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Our activities bring together stakeholders who are focused on producing efficiencies in healthcare, innovating in healthcare delivery models, private sector integration in sustainable financing, and the regulatory challenges of access to medicine, diagnostics and PPE for the most vulnerable communities in order to reflect on the past and present and prepare for the future.
