Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (the APO)

The Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (the APO) was launched in 2011 and is a collaborative partnership of interested governments, international agencies, foundations, and researchers that promotes evidence-informed health system policy regionally and in all countries in the Asia Pacific region.

The APO:

  • collaboratively identifies priority health system issues across the Asia Pacific region;
  • develops and synthesizes relevant research to support and inform countries' evidence-based policy development; and
  • builds country and regional health systems research and evidence-informed policy capacity.
