Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR)
A global collaboration to make sure health systems withstand future crises.
The Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) has been initiated by the London School of Economics (LSE), the World Economic Forum (WEF) and AstraZeneca in 2020, motivated by a shared commitment to improving population health, through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, a number of new partners have joined including Royal Philips, KPMG, Apollo Hospitals and the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience, and we are actively seeking additional partners.
The pandemic has tested our health systems to, and beyond their limits. We could - and should - have been better prepared for this crisis. It has exposed long-standing fault lines in health systems that were already straining to meet increasing population needs and bridge health inequalities. Change is needed to build health systems that are both resilient to crises and sustainable in the face of long-term stresses.
From new models of care, to innovative financing mechanisms and breakthrough technologies, PHSSR aims to make change happen, by identifying transferrable solutions with the greatest potential, and supporting their adoption to deliver better health and better care for all.
