| Report
Overview
The Health financing progress matrix (HFPM) is the World Health Organization’s (WHO) standardized, qualitative method for assessment of a country’s health financing system. The assessment builds on an extensive body of conceptual and empirical work and summarizes what matters in health financing for universal health coverage (UHC) into 19 desirable attributes, which form the basis of this assessment.
This report identifies areas of strength and weakness in Sao Tome and Principe’s current health financing system in relation to the desirable attributes, and based on this recommends where relevant shifts in health financing policy directions specific to the context of Sao Tome and Principe 2024 can help to accelerate progress towards UHC.
