2 023 marks the halfway point of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, but the United Nations (UN) recently described progress towards them as &l dquo\;woefully off track&rdquo\;. As part of an effort to refocus attentio n on these goals\, the UN General\n Assembly is convening three hig h-level meetings (HLMs) on health: one on pandemic prevention\, preparedne ss and response\, one on universal health coverage (UHC)\, and one highlig hting the fight against tuberculosis (TB). Yet\, the success of these\n initiatives hinges on a deep understanding of how our existing health and social structures foster health equity in the context of these overar ching goals &ndash\; an insight to which robust health policy and systems research (HPSR) can make a\n major contribution.

This specia l event examined the priorities\, interests and opportunities of key actor s in the field to support and deploy health policy and systems research to drive progress on health equity and to achieve the health-related goals. It was informed by the discussions at the HLMs and showcased examples of how countries have employed HPSR approaches to identify gaps and find solu tions. It was also an opportunity to launch discussions around these topi cs\, which will be continued during the Eighth Global Symposium o n Health Systems Research taking place in Nagasaki\, Japan in November 2024.\n
