BOOK RECOMMENDATION

book

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.
