Over the past year, the Global Learning Collaborative for Health Systems Resilience (GLC4HSR) has advanced its mission of fostering collaboration, generating evidence, and developing tools to strengthen resilience across health systems worldwide.

Our work has spanned diverse geographies and themes, anchored in partnerships and knowledge exchange. A major milestone was the publication of our research, A Scoping Review of Health Systems Resilience Assessment Frameworks, in PLOS Global Public Health. This study complements the Health Systems Resilience Assessment (HSRA) tool, developed by the GLC4HSR Secretariat at ACCESS Health International, to support policymakers and practitioners in assessing readiness and guiding reforms.

We deepened engagement through dialogues and convenings. In collaboration with the Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC), we co-hosted a webinar on resilience in South Asia, highlighting community engagement and cross-sector collaboration. During G-SPARC 2024, our session on antimicrobial resistance emphasized systems thinking, One Health approaches, and genomic surveillance as pathways to reverse AMR growth. A roundtable with leading research institutes in New Delhi explored blueprints for surveillance-alert-response systems leveraging molecular and digital technologies.

GLC4HSR was also actively represented in global forums. At the Health Systems Global Symposium 2024 in Nagasaki, Japan, our team delivered oral and poster presentations and convened meetings to advance health systems research. We also joined fireside chats and regional dialogues, stressing the importance of sustainable financing, equitable participation, and a “network of networks” approach to amplify underrepresented voices.

Our Annual Conclave 2025 marked another landmark, bringing together over 200 participants, 70+ speakers, and representatives from more than 18 countries. With 11 sessions, three breakout discussions, and 25 academic posters ranging from AI in TB screening to climate-smart diagnostics, the conclave created a vibrant space for collective learning.

Further, GLC4HSR contributed to global policy discussions, including inputs to the UNESCAP Digital Maturity Framework and Digital Blueprint for Cooperation presented at an intergovernmental meeting in August 2025.

These achievements reflect our commitment to fostering innovation, building partnerships, and shaping resilient, people-centered health systems worldwide. We thank our members, partners, and collaborators for their continued contributions in advancing this shared mission.
