The mission of the department of Health Systems Governance and Financing (HGF) and its units at WHO HQ is to support member countries to develop and/or sustain health financing systems that ensure access to needed health services while avoiding catastrophic expenditure and impoverishment of people as a result of seeking care. This will be achieved through monitoring and evaluation, with development of tools and information to feed into the policy process, and with appropriate capacity development to undertake such activities in country toward UHC.
