Universal Health Coverage - OECD

Submitted by pmassetti on

Universal Health Coverage is about everyone having access to good quality health services without suffering financial hardship. Although most OECD countries offer all their citizens affordable access to a comprehensive package of health services, they face challenges in sustaining and enhancing such universal systems. These challenges are as relevant in low- and middle-income countries, so that expanding coverage also translates into better health outcomes for all.

[Opinion] Doctor’s Tip: Health care in Cuba — maybe we can learn something

Submitted by dfabbri on

PostIndependent.com (07.04.2019) Understandably, a growing number of Americans are dissatisfied with our expensive, dysfunctional health care system. We spend far more money on health care than any other country, yet rank far down the list of most measures of health outcomes. Complications of our health care system (errors, missed diagnoses, hospital-acquired infections, etc.) are the third cause of death, following heart disease and cancer.

How Africa and Asia are joining forces on universal healthcare

Submitted by pmassetti on

World Economic Forum (04.03.2019) An estimated 400 million people in the world lack access to basic health services, while millions are pushed into extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket healthcare costs. The burden of this lack of universal health coverage (UHC) is largely placed on Africa and Asia, where 97% of the population are impoverished by out-of-pocket health spending.

[Report] WHO: Countries are spending more on health, but people are still paying too much out of their own pockets

Submitted by dfabbri on

WHO (20.02.2019) Spending on health is growing faster than the rest of the global economy, accounting for 10% of global gross domestic product (GDP). A new report on global health expenditure from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals a swift upward trajectory of global health spending, which is particularly noticeable in low- and middle-income countries where health spending is growing on average 6% annually compared with 4% in high-income countries.

High-quality health systems in the Sustainable Development Goals era: time for a revolution

Submitted by delziniy on

Although health outcomes have improved in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the past several decades, a new reality is at hand. Changing health needs, growing public expectations, and ambitious new health goals are raising the bar for health systems to produce better health outcomes and greater social value. But staying on current trajectory will not suffice to meet these demands.
