Description
Summary:[...]countries are diverse and at various stages along the (general, health sector, or health systems) development continuum. [...]as suggested by Horton, investing in health workers, health information, governance and accountability, and, I would add, supply chains is indeed crucial to deliver UHC—a package of comprehensive quality health services that is affordable by all. [...]expansion of the Global Fund mandate beyond the three diseases is required because the ultimate achievement of UHC will be slowed down, not by those three diseases, but by other factors affecting people's health. [...]continued strategic Global Fund investments in key health systems is necessary to guarantee effectiveness, efficiency, and value for money for all health services, thus contributing substantially to the achievement of UHC.
