In February 2024, the Ministry of Public Health organized a dialogue on financing the healthcare system from internal resources. This dialogue recommended the creation of a Steering Committee to monitor the process of setting up Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Burundi.
The general mission of the Steering Committee is to monitor the development of the health financing strategy for the implementation of Universal Health Coverage in Burundi, taking into account the Government’s orientations on the one hand, and suggesting, if necessary, proposals likely to achieve the expected results on the other.
