Abstract

The COVID crisis has been (and perhaps still is) a nightmare for health systems and health organizations. Yet, it has also provided an incredible opportunity for learning. Health systems should make sense of what they did in these months, to revise they way the plan, to re-think their governance, to develop better inter-institutional and inter-sectoral cooperation, to open for stronger international coordination. Health organizations have experienced a massive stress that driven them to very innovative service re-modelling, skill mix among professionals, acceleration in the introduction of ICT, new re-conceptualization of what it means to be “patient-centred”. And much more. We can’t lose the opportunity to learn from all this, to consolidate changes, to re-shape the way we work. And please, share with us the scientific work you’re doing to highlight those changes and their impacts on health management and policy. They are changes that can re-define the way we cope with the “new normality” of health sector and systems.
