The impact of Covid-19 in the Pacific has highlighted the interdependence of health security and health systems, and the need to improve resilience.
A new report "Health security in the Pacific: expert perspectives to guide health system strengthening." aims to identify and prioritise health system strengthening initiatives in the Pacific.
One of the writers, University of Sydney associate Professor, Meru Sheel, says they have identified steps that should be part of a ramping up of health support for Pacific countries.
She spoke with Don Wiseman.
