Podcast Episode 4 – What We Mean When We Talk About Resilience

Since the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the USAID Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS) has assisted governments with their prevention, detection, response, and vaccination efforts. But we’ve done more than help with immediate needs. Through all our support, LHSS has worked to strengthen countries’ capacity not only to fight COVID-19 but also to respond effectively to the health emergencies of the future. We’ve improved their resilience.

In this episode, three LHSS experts discuss what a resilient health system looks like, and how countries can shift from reacting to health emergencies to building in preparedness. Listen to the episode below.
