Notes: [A review of existing literature enabled us to distil a number of strategies for strengthening health system resilience or a resilient response to a shock. It is important to remember that these strategies often overlap across the various stages of the shock cycle, as well as across various health systems. functions. Which strategies should be followed depends on the specific country context, the stage of the shock cycle, and the type and severity of the shock. The strategies we have identified are: (1) Effective and participatory leadership with a strong vision and communication (2) Coordination of activities across government and key stakeholders (3) Organizational learning culture that is responsive to crises (4) Effective information systems and flows (5) Surveillance enabling timely detection of shocks and their impact (6) Ensuring sufficient monetary resources in the system and flexibility to reallocate and inject extra funds (7) Ensuring stability of health system funding through countercyclical health financing mechanisms and reserves (8) Purchasing flexibility and reallocation of funding to meet changing needs (9) Comprehensive health coverage (10) Appropriate level and distribution of human and physical resources (11) Ability to increase capacity to cope with a sudden surge in demand (12) Motivated and well-supported workforce (13) Alternative and flexible approaches to deliver care We have also identified a wide range of assessment areas that have been applied to various aspects of health system resilience.],
