Body

General

This SPHU will, through a program approach, integrate the former interventions (PNFP and ICB II ) of the bilateral Belgian Cooperation in the health sector and consolidate them. This will be done in view of scaling up the Result Based Financing (RBF) experience in the Rwenzori and West-Nile regions towards a sustainable national RBF strategy, rolled out in other regions of the country, under Ministry of Health (MoH) leadership and in collaboration with other Development Partners supporting RBF (a.o. WB). This experience will also feed the longer-term reflection on strategic health financing and more specifically the development of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Contribute to Universal Health Coverage in Uganda following a Rights Based Approach.

Results

Build the capacities of the Ugandan health system in order to roll-out a Strategic Purchasing mechanism for Public and PNFP Health Services, with a particular focus on women, children and other vulnerable groups.

Other
