Topic :Discuss the concept of Universal Health Coverage and critically analyse how health systems in low- and middle-income countries can rise to the challenges of providing UHC
Introduction:Provide a brief introduction which should highlight the need for UHC and then provide your aims.
Discussion:
-Define universal health coverage and link it to SDG 3.
-Provide an overview of the WHO building blocks for health system development and how these relate to UHC.
Implications:
-Consider the challenges of health system development in LMIC (low and middle income countries)– this could be related to your own country/setting -Nigeria, and propose evidence- based (part of) solutions to address the identified challenges and thus improve health system of a setting/country (Nigeria).
-Critically evaluate national/ local responses to Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in your country/setting: for example, this could focus on financing arrangements, service provision, primary health care focus, and by referring to identified weaknesses of the UHC indicate how those limitations could be eliminated or reduced.
Conclusion:Effective summary of the critical discussion points.
