Introduction Increasing demand and financial burdens are placing significant strain on current health resources. To help ease pressures, there has been increased emphasis on improving patient flow and saving costs within the health service. Routine postoperative blood tests in otherwise healthy patients may add to delays and healthcare costs without influencing subsequent management.

In this paper we draw upon the review article "Re-evaluating Our Knowledge of Health System Resilience During COVID-19: Lessons from the First Two Years of the Pandemic" by Saulnier et al to propose some additional themes to be considered regarding ongoing conversations on health system resilience. Complementing the lessons learned brought forward in the article, we propose three thematic areas which may enrichen this conversation. These three themes are posed as questions: (1) Transformation - towards what? (2) Crises and shocks - what counts as such? and (3) Levels and scales - can tensions be reconciled? While our insights are strongly rooted in research results on health system resilience during COVID-19 in Finland, we seek to discuss their wider implications for health system resilience and beyond the context of a single country.

Saulnier's review, "Re-evaluating Our Knowledge of Health System Resilience During COVID-19: Lessons From the First Two Years of the Pandemic," analyzes health systems resilience in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. A key finding was the importance of learning. In this commentary, we argue that strengthening systems-level learning capabilities could build resilient health systems.

Introduction: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), associated with C282Y or H63D mutations in the HFE gene, is the commonest genetic disorder in Canada. The majority of HH cases are attributable to C282Y homozygosity which can precipitate iron overload and organ damage, but with low penetrance. Elevated transferrin saturation (TSat) and ferritin levels are key biochemical indicators of iron overload in C282Y homozygotes.
