Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to health systems globally. This brief summarises key principles for promoting resilient health systems in the face of this challenge. It is based on evidence from recent research programmes commissioned by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). A number of these principles point to the value of anticipation of shocks and appropriate preparation. However, a number also address means of responding in the face of adversity. The brief aims to provide concise, accessible, actionable, evidence-based guidance of value to health planners, managers and professionals in planning COVID-19 response
