"Who is the “country” in country ownership? CCMs cannot authorize treasury releases or provincial budgets. Finance ministries, insurers, and subnational budget holders need permanent decision-making roles, not just consultation..." https://t.co/iMzQUqeOQX

"Faced with many competing priorities and limited replenishment resources, the Global Fund – a gap-filling organization – relies on domestic resource mobilization to strengthen country systems, contribute to treatment financing either by funding drugs or include HTM treatment in health insurance schemes." https://t.co/ujVweSYKMb

In a world facing numerous challenges, achieving universal health coverage remains crucial. More than half of the 🌎 population­ ­– some 4.5bn people ­– lack full access to essential health care.

Half of the population of Lebanon is refugees? How do we discuss health financing in such a situation? #HF meeting in Rabat bringing together 24 countries, 10+ international organisations co-organised by WHO WB and the Global Fund tackling critical issues facing the MENA/EMRO region.

[Kalipso Chalkidou @kchalkidou]

Les experts ont également souligné l’impératif de l’optimisation des ressources qui nécessite l’amélioration de la coordination des donateurs et l’alignement des ressources afin de soutenir les réformes du financement de la santé spécifiques à chaque pays. https://t.co/8MT3TTIxpi

Wonderful to end WHA week on a high with friends and colleagues. We badly need evidence on sustainability and effective donor transitions; looking forward to working with Alliance under @rasanathan and @JeremyFarrar at interface between research and policy (and politics)!

The WHO paper on Strengthening the Global Architecture for Health Emergency, Response and Resistance (HEPR) has just been posted.
