Dr. Carissa F. Etienne Director PAHO/WHO UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE Building a path forward in the Region of the Americas 3 December 2013

UHC: a powerful concept in evolution “UHC is to ensure all people have access to needed services (prevention, promotion, curative, rehabilitation, and palliative care) with sufficient quality to be effective and without exposing individuals to financial hardship. UHC provides renewed focus on access to the Social Determinants of Health, and the engagement of other sectors and civil society to promote health and well-being” PRINCIPLES OF UHC Universality Equity Right to health Solidarity

What UHC is not….. UHC is not only about treatment UHC is not only about financial protection UHC is not a strategy which excludes priority health programs UHC is not about ensuring a minimum package of health services UHC is not about privatizing the health system, nor is there a unique health system model through which UHC can be achieved

Inequality in LAC: The great challenge. Inequality also impacts health conditions. Inequality is a barrier for development. Improving health care has strong redistributive impact. Inequalities & Health

Towards UHC: Three Dimensions Policy Choices

Social Determinants of Health Addressing the Social Determinants of Health: An Essential Factor in Breaking the Cycle of Inequity Woman’s level of education Family and peer influences Income of family Place of residence- urban vs. rural Gender Norms Ethnicity, class status, and social exclusion Cultural and religious values and traditions Access to affordable and high quality health services National legal and policy environme nts

REQUIREMENTS for UHC Resilient Health Systems Social Protection Social Participation Political Will

Resilient Health Systems Governance Organization of care Human resources Health financing Health information systems Access to technology including medicines Health Services Delivery

Universal health coverage Key Messages UHC is based on the principles of the right to health, equity and solidarity UHC is much more than financial protection. UHC focuses efforts to reach the unreached - including women and children. Strong political will is needed to engage on UHC. Fees at the moment of seeking health care should be eliminated.

MAIN ISSUES: Health services management Quality services development Human Resources and leadership for health People-centered models of care Networking and integration of health services with other individual and family social benefits. Building knowledge on strengthening health Systems from Social Security experiences

“Each country needs to find its own way to UHC based on its own particular historic, social, and economic context, promoting a larger social dialogue. Every country can do something to move towards UHC” Dr. C. F. Etienne, Jamaica, June 2013
