A new annotated bibliography on universal health coverage has been launched by the Graduate Institute’s Global Health Programme and Rabin Martin, a global health strategy consultancy based in New York and Geneva.
Universal health coverage has become a central focus of debate in the global health community in recent years. Many countries want to extend universal coverage to improve health outcomes in an equitable way, without the risk of catastrophic expenditure increases. The UN discourse on post-2015 sustainable development goals is also actively looking at the issue of universal health coverage.
The Institute and Rabin Martin are working with a wide range of advisors from academia, civil society, and the public and private sectors and have launched, together with this new publication, a two-year collaboration on Universal Health Coverage: Equity, Innovation and the New Economy of Health.
The bibliography includes sections on concepts and considerations, governance, equity and social protection, health financing and delivery, health workforce, metrics, and country case studies.
