Dear Ketevan Goginashvili, HSR2020 comes at a potentially defining moment as health systems across the world are under tremendous pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic and needing, perhaps more than ever, to learn from and collaborate with one another against a shared global threat to health, wellbeing and social justice. The themes of HSR2020 are critical to our success in addressing COVID-19 - seeking to break down old silos and re-orient health systems to address public health. Accordingly, HSR2020 is pleased to announce a new call for COVID-19 specific abstracts https://bit.ly/2C9tcBu that address the broader theme of ‘re-imagining health systems for better health and social justice’ https://bit.ly/3e1ZhJC , and any of the three subthemes: • Subtheme 1: Engaging political forces • Subtheme 2: Engaging social, economic and environmental forces • Subtheme 3: Engaging technological, data and social innovations Cross-cutting questions that explore the ethical dilemmas, equity concerns and social injustices - within and influencing health systems - that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the forefront are also welcome. Abstract submissions are limited to organized sessions. Individuals who have previously submitted abstracts can still apply for the COVID-19 stream. Information about how to submit can be found here: https://hsg.eventsair.com/hsr2020/organizedsessionsubmissioneng?Token=t0LaNnXjZwIC7nXx9f2QwqvBvkyFhCAZgVAWv6VXJ4qV3NIxZ8IEDk5l8RWemtjp The call for the new HSR020 COVID-19 stream is now open until 30 July 2020. Submitters of accepted abstracts will be notified by the end of August. Sincerely, Symposium Program Working Group
