It was a busy week in Abu Dhabi! We held the #PHSSR 3rd Summit: Working together to strengthen health systems, in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week 👏 We launched the Abu Dhabi PHSSR report, developed in close collaboration with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, and I moderated a session focused on the need to act early on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to strengthen health systems. It is crucial to leverage digital technology to improve early detection and intervention – and more broadly to invest in preventative care. The final session tackled the relationship between climate and health, and how climate impacts health equity. The healthcare sector must lead the charge against climate change – I was grateful for the opportunity to join a panel as part of the Health Leaders Forum on this very topic. Between a rise in NCDs, an aging population, and the additional threat of extreme weather events, healthcare access and delivery are under pressure. Through partnerships, disruptive business model innovation, and digitalization we can help bring targeted solutions to areas where health disparities are most pronounced, allowing for more resilient healthcare delivery with a lower environmental impact 🌍 👉 Read all about the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) here: https://lnkd.in/eMQF9Wf7 #Sustainability #Resilience #Health #Partnerships #ADGHW
