Join us for an engaging session on empowering Health Policy and Systems Research Institutions (HPSRIs) across Asia to bridge the gap between evidence and policy implementation. While HPSRIs have grown rapidly in the region, their influence on policy remains limited. Through insights from Asian case studies, we’ll explore the unique challenges and strategies needed to strengthen these institutions’ role in policy-making. Participants will delve into region-specific needs, engage in interactive discussions, and share their own experiences to foster impactful evidence-to-policy pathways.
