This study introduces the Resilient Health Systems Appraisal Model (ReHSAM), a whole-of-system approach for appraising health-system resilience. ReHSAM enables comprehensive assessment, cross-context comparison, and integration of resilience-building actions into health system operations. By translating resilience into universal yet context-adaptable standards, it provides a practical basis for bolstering health system resilience in both fragile and stable settings
