That vision has inspired generations. Countries throughout the world-rich and poor-have struggled to build health systems anchored in strong PHC where they were needed most. The world has waited long enough for high-performing PHC to become more than an aspiration; it is now time to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has facilitated the reckoning for that shared failure-but it has also created a once-in-a-generation opportunity for transformational health system changes. The pandemic has shown policy makers and ordinary citizens why health systems matter and what happens when they fail. Bold reforms now can prepare health systems for future crises and bring goals such as universal health coverage within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e PHC holds the key to these transformations. To fulfill that promise, however, the walk has to finally match the talk. Walking the Talk: Reimagining Primary Health Care after COVID-19 outlines how to get there. It charts an agenda to reimagined, fit-for-purpose PHC. It asks three questions about health systems reform built around PHC: Why? What? How? The characteristics of high-performing PHC are precisely those that are most critical for managing the pressures coming to bear on health systems in the post-COVID world. The challenges include future outbreaks and other emergent threats, as well as long-term structural trends that are reshaping the environments in which systems operate in noncrisis times. Walking the Talk highlights three sets of megatrends that will increasingly affect health systems in the coming decades: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Demographic and epidemiological shifts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Changes in technology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Citizens' evolving expectations for health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Reimagined PHC systems will be equipped through optimized system design, financing, and delivery to ensure high-quality services, care to address patients' needs, fairness and accountability, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and resilient systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe World Bank came into formal existence in 1945 following the international ratification of the Bretton Woods agreements. It is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. The organization's activities are focused on education, health, agriculture and rural development, environmental protection, establishing and enforcing regulations, infrastructure development, governance and legal institutions development. The World Bank is made up of two unique development institutions owned by its 185 Member Countries. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) focuses on middle income and creditworthy poor countries and the International Development Association (IDA), which focuses on the poorest countries in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.92 x 6.93 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241471111442,"sku":"9781464817687","price":50.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/k8zurEVPa59781464817687.webp?v=1777899594","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/walking-the-talk-reimagining-primary-health-care-after-covid-19-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
