Towards Universal Health Coverage in Cameroon!

After the adoption of the Universal Health Coverage 2 months ago, we proceeded this morning to the validation of health intervention packages . in total 186 interventions were prioritized. The next steps will consist of designing the process of each intervention , and later cost them.
It is an exciting time for health policy and human development in #Cameroon. Privileged to contribute to this process that will lead to better access to health for our population in particular and for the development of Cameroon in general.
Universal health coverage (UHC) means that all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.
Achieving UHC is one of the targets the nations of the world set when adopting the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Countries that progress towards UHC will make progress towards the other health-related targets, and towards the other goals. Good health allows children to learn and adults to earn, helps people escape from poverty, and provides the basis for long-term economic development.
