The pandemic has challenged healthcare systems around the world. Global responses to the pandemic has been so uneven and varied that it may feel like we are living through a giant experiment everywhere, despite a shared understanding of the science.

We have gathered experts from different countries to share lessons learned under different healthcare systems to shed light on the potential best path forward.
