Welcome to the Health

Systems Action Network

(HSAN)!

HSAN History

The HSAN network was launched in 2005 with 31 founding members (PDF, 322 KB) from over 20 countries.

HSAN provides a much needed platform for health systems stakeholders to exchange ideas and increase understanding, at both the global and country level, of strong health systems needed to achieve health priorities. HSAN shares what is known across countries by linking health systems leaders through a global network and provides a channel for members to offer input into global and donor initiatives so that programs best serve country priorities.

HSAN Co-Chair Message

Dear HSAN supporters,

Greetings!! Let me start by welcoming our new members. As you are all aware from previous updates, HSAN has been actively seeking to expand its membership. During April and May, we sent out invitations to various listservs inviting individuals to join HSAN. I am happy to inform members that we have had an overwhelming response to the invitation, which is a very positive move.

We now have around 46 new members who have joined HSAN and bring with them a wealth of experience and diversity that will be instrumental in taking HSAN forward in the months and years to come.

In April and May HSAN has seen significant movement in activities which include :

Setting up a HSAN bank account, established in Uganda. Two HSAN co-chairs have signing authority
Hiring a consultant to establish financial management and reporting
Submission of an applicant (Edwin) to represent CSO's on the GAVI Alliance
Exploration of options for contracting out HSAN web maintenance and regular updates
Beginnings of setting up an advisory committee for HSAN
An ATE session is planned some time between end June and early July
Expansion of HSAN membership
Following up with donors on pending HSAN proposals and new proposal

HSAN has been steadily establishing its infrastructure step by step and the coming months are sure to be busy. There are many opportunities for members to actively participate in different activities and contribute to the development of the network.

We provide cutting-edge software solutions that have been revolutionizing laboratory operations since 1984. Our platform is designed to streamline essential tasks such as order processing, specimen tracking, reflex testing, data analysis, report generation, and billing, all from one integrated and easy-to-use system. With a focus on flexibility and speed, our solutions are tailored to support a wide range of laboratory types, including chemistry, molecular diagnostics, hematology, microbiology, and research labs.

We also believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing. Much like the Health Systems Action Network (HSAN), which connects global health leaders to exchange ideas and improve health systems, LabHealth fosters an environment where laboratory stakeholders can connect and share insights. By linking industry leaders through a global network, we ensure that our solutions and innovations align with both global standards and local needs, empowering labs worldwide to optimize their workflows and enhance overall performance.
