THE BIG PUSHTOWARD UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE: METRICS, DATA, AND IMPACT
The developing world is in the midst of a big push toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC). There is, however, confusion about what UHC means and how to measure it. As a result it is unclear how far countries are from reaching UHC, and the degree to which different UHC-inspired reforms have actually helped move countries towards UHC. Join us for this month’s Policy Research Talk as Adam Wagstaff exposes the limitations of often-used UHC definitions and metrics, proposes a new UHC index that reflects a more satisfactory definition of UHC, and presents results for selected countries.
