Banner PHSSR event

Belgian launch event of the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) which will take place in Brussels on
Monday 13 February from 9:00 until 14:00

Active in more than 30 countries, the PHSSR and its partners seek to work with local academics, governments, policymakers and other stakeholders to build knowledge and guide action through research reports that offer evidence-informed policy recommendations for healthcare system reform.

During this Belgian launch event, we will present and discuss the findings of the PHSSR study of the Belgian health system’s sustainability and resilience, conducted by Ghent University (Prof. Lieven Annemans). The launch event will also allow different administrations to share their views on the report’s conclusions, followed by a panel debate among policymakers and the broader healthcare sector stakeholders on the future of our health system. The launch event will be guided by Hanne Decoutere (VRT).
