Health policy and systems research network

How does APO contribute to the HPSR network?


The Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (APO) collaborates with a network of stakeholders representing governments, health policy and systems research (HPSR) institutions, academic centres and development partners across the WHO’s South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions.

APO engages a broad HPSR ecosystem to support evidence-informed policymaking, strengthen regional HPSR capacity and promote cross-country learning through knowledge exchange and policy dialogue on emerging health system priorities across Asia Pacific.
