Zanzibar makes accelerated efforts to attain UHC
The government of Zanzibar is dedicated to ensuring that every citizen has access to affordable and high-quality healthcare, aiming to achieve universal health coverage (UHC). As part of its ongoing efforts towards UHC, the government has introduced a new Act that provides guidelines for the establishment of the Health Services Fund (HSF). The HSF will serve as a pooling mechanism, ensuring that the utilization of healthcare services does not lead to financial burdens for individuals. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to making healthcare accessible and affordable for all citizens of Zanzibar.
