Each partner institution of the Swiss Learning Health System (SLHS) is working on a specific topic that will lead to policy briefs and stakeholder dialogues.

It proposes three key policy actions: expanding surveillance coverage, improving coordination between academia and public health authorities, and building public trust through targeted outreach. The brief emphasizes a multi-layered approach to ensure timely, effective responses in future health crises.
