With the GLC4HSR Annual Conclave 2026 approaching, ACCESS Health International, as the Secretariat of the Global Learning Collaborative for Health Systems Resilience (GLC4HSR), is pleased to share a confirmed agenda that places implementation, learning, and system-wide action at the centre of health systems resilience.
Taking place over two focused days, the Conclave convenes policymakers, researchers, implementers, and system leaders to examine how resilience is shaped through concrete policy choices, institutional arrangements, and operational decisions. The 2026 programme reflects this intent, with sessions grounded in real-world experience and cross-country learning.
The first day of the Conclave focuses on the system-level levers that determine how health systems prepare for, respond to, and recover from large-scale crises. Sessions include:
- Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery (PPRR) for Public Health Emergencies and Crises; examining how emergency frameworks are reshaping governance, coordination, and accountability.
- Health Care Provisioning: Care Coordination for Resilient and Responsive Health Systems; exploring service delivery models that improve continuity of care and patient outcomes.
- From Volume to Value: Strategic Purchasing for Quality and Outcome; focusing on how purchasing and contracting decisions can incentivise efficiency, quality, and better health outcomes.
- Regulatory Harmonization & Localization: Twin Pillars for Building Resilient Health Product Supply Chains; unpacking strategies to ensure continuity and reliability of essential health products during disruption.
Together, these sessions examine the architecture of resilient health systems – what must be in place before a crisis tests system capacity.
The second day shifts attention toward the capabilities required to sustain resilience over time, with sessions focusing on:
- Digital Health Transformation and Data Governance for Resilient Health Systems; highlighting how digital tools and governance frameworks support learning and adaptive decision-making.
- HRH4HSR: Do We Need a National Competency Framework and Reforms on Continued Professional Education?; exploring how workforce education and training systems must evolve to meet emerging resilience demands.
- Leveraging AI and Digital Health to Enhance Value for Money and Health System Efficiency: Implications for Health Financing; examining how technology can strengthen efficiency, sustainability, and financing decisions.
- Building Resilient Communities to Face Health Crises; emphasizing the role of communities as active partners in preparedness, response, and recovery.
These discussions underscore adaptability, innovation, and trust as core foundations of long-term resilience.
Across two days, the Conclave prioritises case-based learning, peer exchange, and candid reflection on what has worked, what has not, and why. By bringing together diverse perspectives and lived experience, the programme aims to generate insights that extend beyond the event and inform continued collaboration within the GLC4HSR network.

As the Secretariat, ACCESS Health International looks forward to convening the GLC4HSR community once again and to advancing collective efforts to build health systems that are responsive, inclusive, and prepared for an uncertain future.
