Health systems should not merely survive disruption. They should be designed to adapt to and sustain essential health services through it. 

Dr Sangwe Clovis Nchinjoh is a Global Health Physician and Implementation Scientist working at the intersection of research, policy and strategy to strengthen primary health system resilience across low and middle-income countries. His work focuses on strengthening and adapting primary health systems to ensure the continuity of essential health services in the face of system shocks, including pandemics, epidemics and climate-related disruptions. This includes, in particular, primary healthcare, maternal and child health, and immunisation.                                           

Across his work, Dr Sangwe is driven by a simple conviction: every person, regardless of geography or circumstance, deserves access to the vaccines and essential services that protect and enable a healthy life.
