What does it really mean for a health system to be resilient? The term is widely used but often lacks clarity. In this episode, recorded live at the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) in Bangkok, host Alex Ergo speaks with Professor David Bishai about the World Bank's new publication, "Strategic Investment for Health System Resilience."

Professor Bishai unpacks key insights from the book, including a three-layer framework for investing in resilience, the connection between essential public health functions and resilience-building, and how countries can strategically invest in strengthening their health systems—not just for future crises, but for everyday health system improvements.

Host: Alex Ergo, Director of Health Systems, Population Services International

Guest: Professor David Bishai, Professor of Health Economics and Health Systems, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
