We are delighted to share that our research, “A scoping review of health systems resilience assessment frameworks” has been published in PLOS Global Public Health Journal, a journal dedicated to advancing global health equity by publishing open-access research that addresses critical issues such as health systems resilience, infectious diseases, and public health preparedness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The study has been co-authored by ACCESS Health members Sushma Marita Dsouza Dr.Shrikant Kalaskar MEHNAZ KABEER Latika Rewaria Dr. N. Krishna Reddy Maulik Chokshi and former members Anuradha Katyal and Sreemeena Satyanarayana. The HSRA tool, developed by the GLC4HSR Secretariat - ACCESS Health International - is designed to provide a structured framework to assess health systems' resilience across different contexts and regions. It integrates key components like governance, financing, human resources, and service delivery, aiming to help policymakers and healthcare providers identify gaps and optimize responses during crises. This tool has been designed as a step towards building stronger, more adaptable health systems worldwide. #HealthSystemsResilience #PublicHealthResearch #HealthEquity #GlobalHealth #HealthSystems
