This presentation examines Indonesia’s health transformation agenda in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). It highlights the window of opportunity created by ongoing reforms to strengthen health systems, expand access to quality healthcare, and improve health outcomes. Drawing on Indonesia’s experience, the presentation discusses key policy priorities, implementation challenges, and lessons learned that may inform other countries pursuing resilient, equitable, and sustainable health sector transformation.

This brief examines the potential of tele-ultrasound technology to improve health systems in low- and middle-income countries. It delves into different implementation models: live, real-time mode (synchronous), and delayed review-later mode (asynchronous), while showcasing recent technological advancements and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and their impacts on diagnostic accuracy, efficacy, access, and clinical outcomes. The brief also explores real-world evidence from clinical applications of tele-ultrasound in maternal health, cardiology, thyroid disease, and cancer screening. It outlines the advantages and challenges of tele-ultrasound implementation and provides an overview of the human resources, hardware, and software needed to deploy it effectively.

This guide presents a tiered framework of interventions organized around what countries can do to strengthen climate health governance, and which tools can help them do it. The guide is organized into three tiers reflecting the maturity of a country's climate health governance systems, from initial mandate-setting and stakeholder engagement through the advanced coordination, data systems, and whole-of-government approaches that characterize climate leadership. What remains constant across all tiers are the core enablers of effective governance: clear legal mandates and accountability structures, cross-sectoral coordination tied to budgets, evidence guided planning, meaningful participation, and the anticipatory capacity to plan for uncertainty rather than simply respond to it.
