UNAIDS contribution to resilient and sustainable systems for health (RSSH)

17 June 2021

Existing health services often fail to address the HIV-related needs of people who need them most, while dedicated HIV services do not always meet the broader health needs of the most marginalized people. Resilient and sustainable systems for health (RSSH) are crucial for people to access quality health and HIV services, including through community systems. This review summarizes evidence on how the HIV response has contributed to RSSH, with focus on four countries: the Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana and Kyrgyzstan; it summarizes evidence on the contribution of UNAIDS (principally the Secretariat) in key areas of RSSH; and it identifies missed opportunities at country level, where UNAIDS can play a role in the future.
