The Jamaican Ministry of Health and Wellness published a discussion paper on health financing for UHC in July, 2023. The paper aimed to stimulate broad public discussion on sustainable financing of the health sector as the country strives towards achieving Universal Health Coverage. The goal is to develop a policy focusing on promoting health system resilience, health security, and universal health coverage. To achieve these goals, a country must raise sufficient revenues, maximize risk-sharing across the entire population, spend government funds in ways that improve the health of all citizens of a country, and exercise prudent public financial management.
