Overview

Å·ÃÀÈÕb´óƬ Group is committed to helping developing countries achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through stronger, more resilient health systems and providing quality, affordable health services to everyone ¨C especially the most vulnerable. But progress towards achieving UHC remains off track. By prioritizing health, countries build the foundation for the human capital that drives job creation, shared prosperity and improved societal well-being.

Å·ÃÀÈÕb´óƬ¡¯s ambitious plan to support countries to deliver quality, affordable health services to 1.5 billion people by 2030 aims to address the significant inequities that leave half of the global population without essential health services and 2 billion people facing severe financial hardship due to healthcare costs. 

Shrinking fiscal space, emerging disease challenges and threats, climate change and fragility, along with aging populations significantly impact access to quality, affordable health services for all. 

Our $27 billion global health portfolio includes 160 projects that are helping countries improve health outcomes by strengthening primary care and public health functions and utilizing digital solutions.

This includes scaling four key solutions: implementing sustainable financing reforms, redesigning primary care for emerging challenges like non-communicable diseases and aging, creating predictable regulatory environments for private sector engagement, and strengthening the health workforce through digital innovations and mid-level provider training.

Ensuring that every woman and child has access to health care is also fundamental to ending poverty by unlocking human potential and building robust economies.

The , a multi-stakeholder partnership hosted at the World Bank has been supporting countries with the world¡¯s highest maternal and child mortality burden and financial needs. Since the GFF was founded in 2015, partner countries have made significant progress to improve maternal and child health.
