International Working Group for Health Systems Strengthening

IWG Special Committee on COVID-19 Relief Efforts in SEAR

Overview

The IWG united to form a Special Committee for India’s COVID-19 Relief Efforts to support and respond to the crises in the South East Asia Region, currently focusing on the evolving crises in India and Nepal (and neighboring countries as we expand scope). This group aligns with two specific pillars of IWG’s 3-Pillar Structure: Knowledge Sharing and Advocacy.

The Committee has four main work streams: Infographic Series; Amplifying Local Fundraisers; Digital Mental Health Toolkit for Frontline Workers; and translation of COVID-19 awareness flyers in collaboration with Students Against COVID (SAC).

Many of the initiatives are done in collaboration with local and global partners in line with IWG’s mandates to leverage strategic partnerships and promote the vision of a world where health systems work for all.
