ACT-A Health Systems and Response Connector: Areas of work
ACT-A Health Systems and Response Connector: Areas of work
The ACT-A HSRC coordinates three key workstreams which span multiple areas of work related to COVID-19 tool readiness and deployment:
1. Country financing, planning, and tracking
2. Country technical, financial and operational support
3. Health system and workforce protection
Health Financing
The health financing workstream assists countries in identifying and prioritizing where to invest most efficiently, on how to mobilize and make resources available to deploy COVID-19 tools, and provides guidance (and tools) for rapid implementation of resource mapping and expenditure tracking to support policy adaptation.
Community-led Responses
The community-led responses workstream ensures community engagement in governance and oversight in COVID tools delivery.
Data Monitoring
The integrated data/health services tracking and monitoring workstream provides a set of innovative assessment and monitoring tools and dashboards that can help countries track the preparedness and performance of health systems during COVID-19.
Health Workforce Surge and Protection
The protecting frontline health workers workstream focuses on protecting the health and social care workers, including the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Private Sector
The private sector workstream facilitates identifying institutional capacity needs for private sector engagement, conducts private sector mapping, and incentivizes the development of comprehensive private sector engagement strategies.
Clinical Care
The clinical care workstream complements existing clinical care work ongoing in the COVID-19 response by partners and countries for Clinical Management of COVID-19 patients as well as it ensures the continuity of essential health services.
Supply Chain
The supply chain workstream facilitates strengthening and improving existing in-country supply chains, temperature-controlled and not, so they are fit for the delivery of COVID-19 tools from ports of entry or central medical stores to service delivery points.
