Abstract / Description of output

In pulling together the book’s analytical themes and practical lessons in the conclusion, this chapter emphasises as a core theme the scope for bringing together health, industrial development and innovation to build greater local health security, for cancer care, across the spectrum of health need and pandemic preparedness. The pandemic and our study of cancer care reinforced the importance of simultaneous co-resolution of challenges pertaining to health systems strengthening, development of broad industrial capabilities and improvements in planning, organisational, funding and institutional capabilities. This is critical for building agile and resilient local health security, a critical pre-condition for global health security.
