The theme of this year’s Technical Exchange was “The Swiss contribution to strengthen global health systems” – learnings from Swiss expertise on malaria and beyond. Covid-19 has shown the crucial role of strong health systems in fighting this major pandemic. Providing uninterrupted routine services is crucial during such times, and hence the quality and resilience of health services is even more important during a crisis. Shared knowledge among different sectors and many partners, as well as practical experience are essential to better prepare for future health crises. The goal of this meeting was to pool our Swiss experience in the national and international health sector to identify interventions that contribute to reaching Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year was the first time that the meeting was held virtually. Read more
