De Claro, V. (2023). Reframing health systems resilience: A necessary step towards a transformative action. BMJ Global Health, 8(7), Article e013233. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjgh-2023-013233
Summary box The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the limitations and vulnerabilities of health systems, leading to a renewed focus on the importance of resilience in the global health discourse.
However, the conceptualisation of health systems resilience remains ambiguous and fluid, posing obstacles to its practical implementation and accurate assessment.
This article reflects on the need to reframe resilience in a challenging context and reconceptualise it as an active process that drives improvement that will truly facilitate transformative change within the health system.
