The concept and role of community health workers (CHWs) have enjoyed renewed interest in global health since the Alma-Ata Declaration in 1978.

  Recognising that this survey inherently focused respondents on the existing WHO priority framework, we expanded our consultation through workshops to enable broader discussions of research priorities. Analysing the data from the workshops allowed a further open consideration of current research priorities as this step expanded beyond the limitation that the survey had of asking questions within the framework of the WHO roadmap.

Currently, hospital information systems are not directly linked to the diagnosis-based (or diseasebased) NNDRS in China, which could also cause reporting delay and errors (eg, manual typing errors) and should be improved.

Finding solutions for funding of EV4GH without losing BMJ Global Health its inherent flexibilities and getting co-opted to the extent that it becomes one of the usual suspects in global health is a challenge facing the EV4GH leadership and a tension that needs to be worked out over the next 10 years.

  However, the standardisation would have inhibited HIV research in Africa and was opposed by global health researchers. Where Ministries of Health cannot achieve a reliable supply, even with the support of research programmes, then research in those settings may not be feasible.

  The long-term solution should not be disease-specific social protection schemes but universal systems that provide better ways to extend income security protection in case of sickness for all. The human rights framework and international labour standards followed this approach, considering income security in case of sickness an integral part of social health protection.

The global health community, national security agencies and all governments have known that a pandemic like COVID-19 was likely to come, yet global health policy has remained woefully unprepared nor fit-for-purpose.
