Research either focuses on individual HSR indicators, such as social welfare policy, public expenditure, health insurance, healthcare quality, and technology, or broadly examines socio-economic factors, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive methodological approach. This study employed the Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) within Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to analyze efficiency by maximizing outputs. It systematically examined key HSR factors across countries, providing insights for improved policymaking and resource allocation. Taking a five-year (2016\u20132020) dataset that covered 55 to 56 countries and evaluating 17 indicators across governance, health systems, and economic aspects, the paper presents that all sixteen top-ranked countries with a perfect efficiency score of 1 belonged to the high-income group, with ten in Europe, highlighting regional HSR differences. This paper concludes that adequate economic resources form the foundation of HSR and ensure stability and sustained progress. A properly supported healthcare workforce is essential for significantly enhancing health systems and delivering quality care. Last, effective governance and the equitable allocation of resources are crucial for fostering sustainable development and strengthening HSR.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13080663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,5]],"date-time":"2025-08-05T14:23:19Z","timestamp":1754403799000},"page":"663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparative Assessment of Health Systems Resilience: A Cross-Country Analysis Using Key Performance Indicators"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7192-0990","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu-Hsiu","family":"Chuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Business and Management, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei City 10044, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7337-2935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin-Li","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Business and Management, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei City 10044, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpvm.IJPVM_487_20","article-title":"Challenges of the Health System in Preventing Non-Communicable Diseases; Systematized Review","volume":"12","author":"Hadian","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
