Worldwide, millions of people have died from COVID-19, and every country in the world has been affected. This pandemic has also triggered the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression, exacerbated preexisting inequities, and set back progress on many other key health indicators. Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic will help countries prepare for future crises by strengthening health systems to be more resilient.
