Key factors to consider in the development of approaches to UHC include expanding coverage of the population in terms of access to and quality of health service; equitable distribution of services; the types of services to be provided in the benefits package1; and the proportion of costs covered in terms of the affordability and the sustainability of the financing sources. Namibia’s Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) and Social Security Commission (SSC) work in close collaboration to explore the way forward toward achieving UHC and established the Universal Health Coverage Advisory Committee of Namibia (UHCAN) for this purpose.
