From Health Crisis Management To Building Sustainable Health Security: An Approach To Health System Governance In Algeria
Authors : Osmane Imene . Yasmina Benabderrahmane .
Abstract
This article analyzes the role of health system governance as a mechanism for transitioning from health crisis management to building sustainable health security, particularly in light of global transformations that have exposed the limitations of traditional approaches to addressing health threats. A descriptive-analytical method was adopted through a review of international reports, especially those issued by the World Health Organization, alongside an analysis of the current state of Algeria's health system. The study concludes that, although health crisis management plays an important role in containing risks, it remains situational in nature, whereas sustainable health security constitutes a long-term framework grounded in prevention, preparedness, and effective response. The findings further demonstrate that health governance serves as a pivotal link between these two dimensions, through its role in improving planning quality, strengthening coordination among stakeholders, and consolidating the principles of transparency and accountability, which contribute to enhancing the efficiency and resilience of the health system. The study also reveals that Algeria's health system faces challenges related to weak institutional coordination, limited digitalization, and inequitable resource distribution, which constrain the effectiveness of health crisis response. The article accordingly emphasizes the need to strengthen health governance through institutional, digital, human, and financial reforms, as well as the adoption of a “Health in All Policies” approach, in support of building a resilient health system capable of achieving sustainable health security.
