Leaving no one behind!
Every year
7.5 million people become poor
because of out-of-pocket
payments in the Region
Health systems in the Region suffer from different
forms of inequality that are harshly affecting vulnerable
and marginalized populations. This requires enhancing
accountability through good governance. Despite
the potential to enhance domestic funding and
prepayment arrangements for health in the Region,
public investment in the health sector remains low.
Many development partners are involved in health
system strengthening in the Region yet coordination is
weak.
