This project on health system resilience would not have been possible without the collaborative involvement of many people both within and beyond the OECD. The report was prepared by authors from several OECD directorates and divisions: the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS), the Trade and Agriculture Directorate (TAD), the Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, and the New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC) team. The report was co‑ordinated and edited by Philip Haywood of the Health Division in ELS.
