Save the Children welcomes the Economics of Health for All strategy at a moment of historic ODA collapse, with cuts risking millions of preventable deaths - including 5.4 million children under five by 2030.

Framing health as investment is right. But this is only the start - implementation requires country-led processes with specific milestones, country-defined domestic health spending targets, and accountability mechanisms.

We call on Member States to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation through progressive taxation, health taxes, action on illicit financial flows, and debt resolution - with equity-driven spending targeting the most underserved.
Implementation must be backed by timely, disaggregated health financing data enabling civil society oversight.

Civil society must be institutionalised as a permanent accountability partner in health financing processes, building momentum toward the 2027 UHC High-Level Meeting.
