ABSTRACT

In the wake of crises such as pandemics, natural disasters, and conflicts, health systems worldwide face significant challenges in maintaining effective service delivery. This paper examines the concept of community resilience as a critical factor in strengthening health systems post-crisis. It discusses key components of resilient health systems, including governance, resource management, workforce capacity, and technological innovations. Through an analysis of case studies and best practices from various contexts, this study highlights successful strategies that have contributed to recovery and long-term improvements in health infrastructure. Furthermore, it examines the challenges and opportunities in implementing resilience strategies, emphasizing the need for adaptive governance, public engagement, and policy reforms. Ultimately, this paper provides recommendations for fostering sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive health systems that can withstand future crises while ensuring equitable healthcare access for all.
