Beyond evidence: how actor dynamics and power shape knowledge translation for health policy in Kenya academic.oup.com/heapol/adva…

Excellent morning at the @LSTMnews #125symposium in Liverpool, UK. We heard a lot of health systems talk, with plenty of ReBUILD input alongside colleagues from the new Institute for Resilient Health Systems (introduced by @marysekok and @jmnzinga).

They were followed by @MiriamTaegtmeye and @lilianotiso and a fab film outlining a genuine exchange of skills between health managers in Liverpool and Kenya, and the session was wound up by Justin Pulford on health research capacity strengthening... 1/ rebuildconsortium.com/projec… rebuildconsortium.com/partne…

🎉 A proud milestone for #EV4GH at #HSR2024! Among the 6 distinguished individuals selected for the closing plenary, 3 are Emerging Voices from #EV4GH2024 & past cohorts. A testament to the impact of this vibrant community! @TMirzoev @ahyder1 @RumanaHuque @RenzoGuinto @AnaAmaya

How do you measure health system confidence? We propose: health security endorsement. Health security = ability to get AND afford quality services you need. More in our recent @LancetGH series paper: thelancet.com/journals/langl… @questglobalnet @toddplewis

People’s views are missing from today’s health systems’ performance assessments. Currently, few rapid and comparable instruments for tracking health system performance incorporate population views. The PVS aims to fill that gap. thelancet.com/series/peoples…

Researchers from the QuEST Network have published a six-paper series in @LancetGH, drawing on data from the People's Voice Survey collected in 2022-23 from 15 high-, middle-, and low-income countries. thelancet.com/series/peoples…
