The fourth GLC4HSR Annual Conclave will take place on 24-25 March 2026 at the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), New Delhi. As the flagship convening of the Global Learning Collaborative for Health Systems Resilience, the Conclave will bring together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and system leaders to translate resilience theory into deployable action for stronger, more secure health systems.
Building on learning from previous editions, the Conclave will distil a year of peer exchange into practical, implementable lessons drawn from country and sub-national experience. With people and their health at the centre, discussions will examine how policies, strategies, and on-the-ground actions enable health systems to anticipate, respond to, and adapt to both acute shocks and long-term stresses.
The 2026 edition will feature curated learning sessions across priority themes, including provisioning and patient outcomes, community empowerment for resilience, strategic purchasing for quality and outcomes, financing in low- and middle-income countries, governance and global health frameworks, supply chain resilience, digital health and information systems implementation, and health workforce competencies and education reform.
Through case studies, tools, and candid dialogue, the Conclave will continue to strengthen cross-country and regional collaboration, creating a clear pathway from shared knowledge to sustained action.
Care coordination, care integration, EHR adoption, accountability for quality, and why outcomes remain weak despite improving access and affordability.
Health literacy, behaviour change, self-care, community-led resilience, and links to population health management.
How payers use purchasing power to improve quality, not only provide financial protection.
Adapting to reduced international development assistance; blended financing approaches and new resource mobilisation strategies.
Pandemic prevention/response, One Health, AMR, wastewater surveillance, and how governance mechanisms evolved this year.
Regulatory excellence, resilient supply ecosystems, and perspectives from MENA/Africa workstreams, with global relevance.
How digital health tools and information systems improve care coordination and continuity, enable decision support and performance improvement, and what it takes to implement them.
Competencies (not only numbers/distribution), continuous competency development, evolving learning models including AI-enabled learning.
