Strategic Investment for Health System Resilience : A Three-Layer Framework (English)

5 Nov 2024

As global efforts to build emergency-ready health systems intensify, the "Strategic Investment for Health System Resilience: A Three-Layer Framework" offers a practical investment framework and diverse country cases to guide decision-making and strategic resource allocations. This framework comprises three layers: risk reduction, which promotes emergency-ready primary health care, public health, prevention, and community preparedness; detection, containment, and mitigation capabilities; and advanced case management and surge response. The framework prioritizes interventions that prevent public health threats from developing (layer 1), limit their spread if they do emerge (layer 2), and manage widespread crises that compromise a health system's ability to deliver care sustainably (layer 3). The framework highlights the relatively low cost of investments in improving the weakest parts of the three layers, with layer 1 functions estimated to cost between US$2 per capita in low-income countries and US$4 per capita in lower-middle-income countries. It applies to both short-term epidemics of communicable diseases and slow-moving trends in noncommunicable diseases, emphasizing the need for a resilient system across multiple layers of response. While there is no universal blueprint for every setting, it is crucial for all countries to invest in the three layers in ways that fit their specific needs, ensuring a resilient health system capable of responding to various health threats effectively.
