Resumen
Descripción
This report looks at resilience
through national health system lenses and provides lessons
to strengthen health systems for future shocks. The findings
are based on case studies from five countries in Eastern
Europe and the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Moldova and Ukraine), as well as focus group discussions
with the population and health care workers in Georgia,
Armenia, and Moldova. The following section provides the
definition and examples of health system resilience. This is
followed by descriptions of the baseline characteristics of
the five Eastern European and South Caucasus countries’
health systems pre-pandemic performance, which determined
most of their capacity and decisions to deal with the shock.
The rest of this report reviews key baseline characteristics
of the health systems in the countries, which are followed
by lessons from the countries’ responses to the pandemic (a
summary of each country case study is provided in Annex A).
The report concludes with recommendations for building the
strong and resilient health systems needed to protect human
capital through shocks and crises.
