Country Compacts
To accelerate progress towards quality affordable health services for all, countries are partnering with the World Bank Group to prepare National Health Compacts. These are high-level, government-led agreements that define shared priorities, reforms, and investment needs in health.
Compacts will serve as a strategic roadmap to align resources across domestic and external sources, including the private sector, galvanize political leadership, and promote accountability for delivering results?.
Compacts will prioritize high-impact health sector solutions and policy reforms needed to unlock challenges in the health sector. While compacts will be country specific, the focus will be on key reforms such as:
- Expanding, rehabilitating and modernizing health infrastructure to ensure facilities are connected, service ready and resilient.
- Diversifying and expanding health service delivery to bring health care closer to communities through clinics, schools, telehealth and pharmacies.
- Expanding and redesigning health service packages ?with a focus on embedding and scaling prevention services, such as essential child immunizations, nutrition services, and integrated primary care services to address non-communicable diseases.
- Investing in a skilled workforce that is digitally-enabled and team-based.
- Improving financial protection for the poorest and most vulnerable?, such as through subsidized care and pre-paid health coverage plans and health insurance programs?.
- Mobilizing private sector investments and innovation across the health system.
