The main aims of the collaboration between the University of Newcastle (Australia) and Aston University (UK) entailed an international comparison of health policy, implementation and effectiveness through the design of a conceptual framework that classifies modern healthcare systems hybridity, analyses the necessary conditions (under Eindhoven’s managed competition model) for maximising efficiency and equity of international healthcare systems and investigates the health of the global workforce and highlights inequalities amongst migrants which has been exacerbated by the effects of COVID-19. Moreover, as a result of the collaboration with Aston we were able to take the opportunity to respond to COVID-19 within the aims of the project to study the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to global health policy and technology as well as the investigation using a case study approach of the policy responses to COVID-19 in multiple countries around the world.
