News release
Reading time:

Ensuring the high performance of health systems requires effective leadership at all levels. Despite the growing recognition of its importance in health, there is limited evidence on what constitutes effective leadership, and the systems, structures and institutional mechanisms that are required to support its development.


In November 2016, the Alliance will be launching a report on Effective Leadership For Resilient Health Systems at the Fourth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Vancouver. In this report, the Alliance aims to explore how leadership manifests in diverse settings and suggest strategies to support its development. This report is primarily intended for policy and decision makers, as well as funders and researchers.

Call for nominations

In order to ensure a diverse set of voices and experiences is represented in the report, the Alliance invites your input on the following:

  • Nominations on leaders who have brought about significant change in strengthening health systems within their own country.
  • Invitation for ideas on topics related to leadership in health

For more information on the leadership report including nomination details, please see the document below.

Deadline: 1 December (**Nominations extended to 6 December!**)
