Three LHSS experts discuss what a resilient health system looks like, and how countries can shift from reacting to health emergencies to building in preparedness.

In this video, learn how Colombia is strengthening HSS through: strengthening governance, promoting sustainable financing, accessing the provision of health services, and emergency response.

This video captures a November 6, 2020 ceremony in Hanoi which marked the formal start of the LHSS Project’s four-year effort to help the Government of Vietnam implement its social health insurance program. The program covers treatment services for people with HIV, among other essential health services.

Working closely with the Vietnam Social Security (VSS) agency, LHSS will help improve the agency’s capacity to manage the insurance program funds effectively, efficiently, equitably, and with accountability. LHSS will also support Vietnam’s transition to full financial ownership of its HIV and TB responses.

HMED software will improve Vietnam’s capacity to effectively forecast ARV demand, and manage the drugs when they are in the country. Also, engaging drug manufacturers and distributors is crucial to overcoming supply side obstacles.

In this episode, we talk with Midori de Habich & Miguel Pulido on what systems thinking means and why it matters in health systems strengthening.

In this episode, we talk with Lisa Tarantino, Director of Transition and Sustainability and explore how LHSS is developing in-country capacity to ensure a more sustainable health system.

But how can development practitioners realize these positive outcomes?
