Continuing with the objectives set in the First Global Symposium, the Second Global Symposium will:

  • share new state-of-the art evidence on universal health coverage;
  • review the progress and challenges towards implementation of the global agenda of priority research on accelerating progress towards universal health coverage, including progress since the World Health Report of 2010;
  • facilitate greater research collaboration and learning communities across disciplines, sectors, initiatives and countries;
  • identify and discuss the approaches to strengthen the scientific rigor of health systems research including concepts, frameworks, measures and methods;
  • identify mechanisms for strengthening capacities – individual, institutional and infrastructural – for research on health systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

In addition, the Second Global Symposium will specifically pursue themes of Inclusion and Innovation within the above overarching objectives. The Symposium will:

  • include research on neglected public health priorities; causes of exclusion of populations or problems; and on what works in reducing these exclusions;
  • highlight the innovations across all health systems building blocks that facilitate faster progress towards universal health coverage in an affordable manner.
