This report from the World Bank Group documents how 24 developing countries have pursued universal health coverage, with a focus on expanding coverage to the poor. The countries included in the report are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and Vietnam.
The authors documented and analyzed countries’ experiences based on a systematic data collection effort to better understand how countries have been implementing universal health coverage reforms. The report examines how policymakers and decision makers are tackling five specific challenges: covering people, expanding benefits, managing finances, improving health care services and strengthening governance and accountability. Country case studies are also available individually as part of the World Bank's Universal Health Coverage Study Series (UNICO).
