Health research priorities when becoming a necessity to support the national research system

Abstract

Introduction
Reinforcement of the National Health Research System
The world is currently witnessing major developments in the field of scientific research, as health has emerged as a top priority, especially after the challenge the entire world faced during the Corona pandemic (Covid-19).

The current research landscape has changed, with a growing awareness of the importance of scientific research and the realization that it is no longer just an academic luxury. Rather, it is in fact an essential element in the decision-making process. This was evident when the entire world stood still waiting for the results of research that they were trying to solve or alleviate the burden of the pandemic. The crucial question is how to sustain this progress and development in the field of research.

Strengthening the research infrastructure is a key step in developing and maintaining the progress of the research system. Among the building blocks that facilitate this are creating a stimulating research environment and supporting regulatory frameworks for this system, such as setting research priorities in the field of health. By setting priorities, we can direct efforts towards pressing health challenges, and facilitate the identification of specific needs and gaps within the healthcare system through targeted research aimed at finding effective solutions.
