Health Systems Global Strategic Planning Survey

Thank you for taking part in this survey.

As part of Health Systems Global's (HSG) strategic planning process, we are seeking feedback from the global Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) community to help identify priorities for the future and ensure that HSG continues to provide value to researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and partners working to strengthen health systems.

Your perspectives will help inform HSG's future strategy, programmes, partnerships, membership model and engagement with the wider HPSR community.

The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. All responses will be treated confidentially, analysed in aggregate, and used solely to inform HSG's strategic planning process.

We greatly appreciate your time and contribution.
