Aidex-GHF Panels 2026: Continuity of Care: Bringing Care to People, Not Waiting for People to Come

When health systems collapse, patients do not stop needing care. Chronic diseases do not pause for conflict. Communities do not stop giving birth, contracting infections, or requiring surgery because a crisis has arrived. And yet the humanitarian response too often defaults to emergency care alone — leaving the full continuum of health needs unaddressed.

This session brings together four practitioners speaking from direct field experience, each addressing a different dimension of what it actually takes to keep care flowing across the full health pathway — from community to hospital — when the system is under pressure. The cases are concrete, the lessons are honest.

The session’s central question: if continuity of care across the full pathway is the goal, what would need to change in how your organization plans, funds, and coordinates its health response?
