Reading time:

Mark your diaries, highlight your programmes, or personalize your agenda in the event app. However you will be organizing your time at the upcoming Fifth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Liverpool, UK, consider attending one of the satellites or other sessions that are being organized by the Alliance.

As one of the co-sponsors of the symposium, the Alliance will be putting on and participating in many activities throughout the week. In fact, given its support for several EV4GH participants from fragile states this year, we even start the week before. We have also sponsored around 25 policymakers from low- and middle-income countries to attend this year’s symposium. They will have their own programme with special sessions, but they will also be participating throughout the symposium – come meet them at our booth during the Welcome Reception on Tuesday evening.

In all, the Alliance has three organized satellite sessions, three launches, and three organized sessions as part of the official programme. See more details of those sessions below – and join us to hear about interesting new research and to understand how the field of health policy and systems research continues to evolve.
