The UHC Partnership has extensively supported WHO in disseminating and translating the key principles of health financing into practice and concrete actions. This included providing modalities to facilitate policy dialogue on the formulation and implementation of health financing policies and arrangements. WHO country offices, in close collaboration with WHO regional offices and headquarters, have also helped national health authorities to steer the process and to define and implement coherent plans in health financing.
Most of WHO’s work in health financing has been around the definition of clear and coherent national health financing strategies. The Organization also directly supported implementation through applied policy and operational research. The UHC Partnership was instrumental to this work, as it proved to be an effective modality to build a health financing policy process at country level.
