The long road to universal health coverage: a century of lessons for development strategy.
Relatório de autoria de Jesse B. Bump, publicado em outubro 2010.
Universal health coverage (UHC) has risen to the forefront of the global health agenda in the past few years, as reflected by donor pledges, international declarations, and highprofile publications (BBC News 2009; Garrett, Chowdhury et al. 2009). The next World Health Report will focus on UHC, and other recent efforts have worked to identify sustainable financing for health systems strengthening. For instance, to coincide with the final report of the Taskforce on Innovative International Financing for Health Systems (TIIFHS)1 in September of 2009, donors announced commitments and new financing strategies expected to generate US$5.3 billion. At the same time, six developing countries announced policy reforms to increase access to health services, including the elimination of user fees, the provision of free care, and new insurance mechanisms (TIIFHS 2009).
