The Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience in Portugal (PHSSR Portugal), an international collaboration between the London School of Economics, the World Economic Forum and AstraZeneca, led in Portugal by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), and with the local partners Lisbon School of Economics & Management (ISEG), Astrazeneca, Phillips and KPMG, launched the report “Sustainability and Resilience in the Portuguese Health System”.
PHSSR Portugal was coordinated by the Técnico professor Mónica Oliveira (Department of Engineering and Management; Centre of Management Studies). The research team was composed of professors Aida Tavares (ISEG), Ana Vieira (Técnico), and researcher Matilde Pacheco (Técnico and ISEG).
The international initiative already took place in more than 20 countries, bringing together, in each nation, local partners to prepare the diagnoses and strategies to be followed.
The PHSSR Portugal report makes an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the Portuguese health system from the viewpoint of sustainability and resilience in seven domains: governance, financing, workforce, medicines and technologies, service delivery, population health, and environmental sustainability; and presents the results from implementing a policy dialogue (specially designed by CEG-IST researchers) in which 40 top-level stakeholders and experts, departing from evidence and taking into consideration their own experience and views, collaborated in designing, commenting and selecting 43 policy recommendations. All policy recommendations gathered a very high level of agreement, delivering a strong message on how to move forward.
