Since the inaugural conclave that took place in March 2023, the GLC4HSR has been working at refining tools and a comprehensive framework aimed at assessing health system capabilities, vulnerability, and resilience. Attendees can look forward to updates on these initiatives, including insights gained from their application across select national health systems.

The importance of robust surveillance, alert, and response systems has also been a focal point of recent dialogues. A blueprint designed to bolster these systems for future challenges will be unveiled, paving the way for further discussions and collaborations.

As the world grapples with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the looming threat of climate change, the Conclave will serve as a platform to explore innovative solutions and strategies. Discussions will encompass financing mechanisms for resilient health systems, the role of digital technologies in healthcare, and the imperative to integrate diverse determinants of health into system design and policy.
