The Alliance will convene and contribute to several sessions at the International Conference on Primary Health Care (ICPHC) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in early October. For those also participating, consider joining our sessions.

1. Embedding health policy and systems research in primary health care transformation: country-driven approaches for adaptive and resilient systems

8 October 2025 | 15:30–16:30 | Track: Adaptive

This breakout session will showcase how country-driven HPSR informs PHC adaptation, resilience and equity. Country examples and dialogue will highlight mechanisms that embed research in policy cycles, the role of adaptive learning and local ownership, and strategies for scaling HPSR in PHC transformation.

2. Artificial intelligence for health policy and systems research: evidence, capacity, policy use and risks in low- and middle-income countries

9 October 2025 | 13.15 – 14.15 | Track: Innovation

This roundtable will explore practical applications of artificial intelligence for HPSR across evidence generation, capacity building and policy translation, while addressing risks, governance and equity to ensure responsible and inclusive use.
