BOOK RECOMMENDATION

Strengthening health systems: A practical handbook for resilience testing
Zimmermann, J., McKee, C., Karanikolos, M., Cylus, J.
Paris: OECD, 2024
Despite the significant impact that crises such as pandemics, climate change effects,
geopolitical conflicts, financial collapses or digital failures can have on economies and
societies, policy makers in the health sector lack tools to test how their health systems would
cope with extreme stress. Seizing a narrowing policy window in a post-pandemic context, the OECD and
the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies developed this comprehensive methodology.
Inspired by stress tests in various sectors, the methodology was piloted in Finland, Greece, and Spain
throughout 2023. The handbook provides health policy makers with tools to assess and enhance their
systems' resilience. This is intended to foster policy dialogues and the identification of structural
weaknesses as the starting point for targeted investments and remedial policies that will allow health
systems to withstand the impact of future shocks more effectively.
