In this video from the Alliance's 25th anniversary series, Arash Rashidian, from the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, discusses the challenge of reintroducing existing concepts in health policy and systems research (HPSR) with new terminology, without adding new knowledge. He highlights the importance of not ignoring the history and existing knowledge in HPSR while trying to answer new and broader questions. As HPSR becomes more attractive to other areas of work, Rashidian emphasizes the need to build on the foundation of existing knowledge to ensure the value of new research in HPSR.
