Summary: | This report identifies critical
opportunities and constraints faced by the Vanuatu health
system as it makes progress toward universal health coverage
(UHC). Protecting the achievements that have been made over
recent years, while continuing to improve a broader range of
health outcomes, requires effective management of changes in
financial and other institutional arrangements in the health
sector. This health financing systems assessment (HFSA)
provides context and emphasizes key issues and messages
aimed at providing Ministry of Health (MoH) and partners
with a platform to help with this transition. It builds upon
other work that has been done in recent years on health in
Vanuatu. The assessment begins with an overview of the
prevailing economic and fiscal context and key health
outcomes. It then overviews the country’s health system -
through its human, physical, and financial dimensions.
Finally, it reviews health financing in some detail to
identify trends across time; against regional benchmarks;
and at both national and subnational and facility levels.
The assessment concludes with a summary of policy options. |
