In the light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, how can the global health community come together behind a joint vision for resilient health systems, and identify priority actions for both emergency preparedness and universal health coverage (UHC) goals?

How can we make health systems sufficiently resilient to manage shocks in ways that protect everyone?
