Universal health coverage in Lebanon: agenda setting using Kingdon’s model and a proposed legal framework for revenue allocation

This study examines the renewed push for a Universal Health Coverage (UHC) bill in Lebanon, analyzing its emergence on the policy agenda through Kingdon’s framework. Findings show that public pressure, a dedicated parliamentary committee, and political receptiveness created a window of opportunity. Policy analysis identified earmarked excise taxes as the most viable funding option, with transparency and accountability mechanisms essential for success.
