Resilience in university hospitals: The Nordic perspective

Discover how university hospitals across the five Nordic countries are working together to strengthen resilience in an increasingly unpredictable world. From extreme weather, pandemics, and geopolitical instability to cyberattacks and shortages of essential medicines and supplies, hospitals must be prepared to maintain critical services through disruption. This session brings together Nordic perspectives on strengthening operational, digital, and supply chain resilience through cross-border collaboration. Speakers will share approaches to protecting health data and digital infrastructure, securing critical resources, and collaborating across national boundaries to support highly specialized care, research, and education. This session demonstrates how shared learning and coordinated action can help hospitals anticipate risks, reduce vulnerabilities, and maintain high-quality care when faced with unexpected challenges.
