<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of building strong and resilient
health systems to protect against health threats, achieve universal health coverage
and ending the preventable deaths of mothers, new-born babies and children. We are
supporting health systems to manage the primary and secondary impacts of the pandemic
by flexing our funding and programming. This builds on our long-term investments to
strengthen and scale up health systems through: technical assistance and financial
support directly to countries; supporting the World Health Organisation, global health
initiatives and other agencies to provide technical assistance and programmes; and
funding research and new products that increase access and reduce prices for essential
health commodities.</p>
