Shaped by urbanisation, commercialisation, the information revolution, and the post-pandemic social reordering, health and care systems in LMICs are increasingly “mixed” across different intersecting axes, for instance: public-private, professional-lay, traditional-modern, and now also digital-nondigital. These dynamic intersections influence health system performance and equity, and create unique policy challenges and opportunities. Professor Sheikh will outline key inferences from his body of research on the governance of mixed health systems in LMICs, and reflect on the implications of these changes on the future of the field of health policy and systems research (HPSR).
