Strengthening NCD service delivery through UHC benefit package: technical meeting report, Geneva, Switzerland, 14-15 July 2020

Overview

All countries, regardless of economic or political status, face challenges in providing their populations with Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and accessible, high-quality health services. The increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is a key facet of this challenge. Meeting global commitments to expand UHC service coverage is unlikely – unless concerted action on NCD occurs. Ensuring that NCDs are incorporated into the process of health benefit package design is necessary to achieve UHC and sustainable financing to prevent and treat NCDs.
