Chronic Emergency: Strengthening Health Systems to Provide Non-Communicable Disease Services to Refugees and Displaced Populations
By end of 2016, 65.6 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide. While relief agencies and health organizations traditionally focus on provision of shelter, food and water, prevention of infectious diseases, and treatment of acute illness, today’s displaced people (DP) also need access to a broader range of health services, including management and treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). DPs also need access to health services in contexts beyond the traditional “camp” settings. This panel of distinguished speakers will discuss key findings from a recent study on Syrian refugees ability to access NCD services in host countries; examine current international governance structures; and share innovative examples of health service delivery in the face of growing demand and instability.

Exposing the Burden of Poor Quality: from RMNCH to Surgical Care
Over the past few decades, there have been substantial improvements in access to HIV, TB, maternal health and surgical care globally. Despite these gains, quality of accessed care has remained low. Understanding the burden of poor quality care and its effect on health outcomes is essential for improving health services and reaching ambitious global targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals and 90-90-90 targets.
