Background: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had many destructive impacts on socio-economic and health systems. The health systems of countries could be supportive in crisis management, but they also are affected by the impact of the crisis, consequently, their operational level has declined. This study pursued resilience in an overall national health system under pandemic stress. Methods: Based on WHO building blocks, by interviewing informants of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, in Tehran-Iran, early 2021 a rich picture of the current situation depicted, the resilience model was extracted via a mixed method of Soft System Methodology (SSM) and total interpretive structural modeling (TISM). Dynamic capabilities were applied for the orchestration of the Iranian health system. Results: Particular functional and structural suggestions applicable for designing a ubiquitous resilience model for the country-wide health system are presented in this study. The variables of crisis sensing, opportunity seizing, and reconfiguration are the cornerstones of health system resilience. Conclusion: Well-suited health technology assessment (HTA) and health information system (HIS) play significant roles in the overall strengthening of the health system. All reforms for resilience will have a lasting result when the capabilities created by the resilience model are learned and reused in a dynamic cycle.

HIS is the main part of the National Health System, which is used as a pillar in health-oriented development. The structured and conceptual information system produces good outcomes and prevents people from the blindness of health matters. Information technology develops rapidly and impacts most of all aspects of life, including health information. Current technological developments play an important role as a media for millennial people or health professionals to get information about health information and epidemiology in their own region. This program aimed to train health cadres in each region of the Tijayan Manisrenggo Village, Klaten, Central Java, in addition to creating an electronic health profile and epidemiology map of the village and then presenting the profile interactively and educatively. The main targets of this program were health cadres in each region of the Tijayan Village, including Bawangan, Candran, Pogaten, and Sorobayan.

<p>Access to the healthcare sector can<br />be mediated by a signifi cant number<br />of socioeconomic factors, giving rise<br />to inequalities among different social<br />groups. Gender consists one of the abovementioned<br />socioeconomic factors, with<br />women generally considered to be in less<br />advantaged position than men regarding this<br />particular issue. In this article we examine<br />the fi nancial, cultural and geographical<br />inequalities in access to healthcare between<br />men and women in Greece. We argue<br />that the signifi cant problems faced by the<br />National Health System in Greece are<br />refl ected, among other things, in the intense<br />presence of gender-related inequalities in<br />access to healthcare. The problem is further<br />intensifi ed by the absence of administrative<br />provisions and of a comprehensive policy of<br />dealing with this particular issue.</p>

The outbreak of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has already taken on pandemic proportions and has affected more than 100 countries in recent weeks. It is imperative that global healthcare systems are prepared. Containment initiatives in Jordan, on the other hand, have decreased new cases by over 63%. The Jordanian national health system has been very pleased with its ability to adequately meet the needs of the patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, and includes intensive care. From 2 March to 14 April 2020, between 4% and 8% of active infected patients in Jordan registered daily in intensive care. The percentage is very low.
