摘要：In October 2014, nearly 2000 people from 125 countries shared and debated issues that are critical to improving the performance of health systems, at the Third Global Symposium on Health Systems Research, in Cape Town, South Africa. 1 Such research was barely visible on the global health agenda until 1996, when the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Ad Hoc Committee on Health Res earch identified health systems re- search as an important but neglected field. 2 Now, as shown by the success of three global symposia, governments worldwide clearly recognize the need for such research to build resilient health systems. A wide range of public health disasters – including the current Ebola epidemic – have drawn attention to the devastation that can rapidly develop in countries with weak health systems.
