The World Bank asks the P4H network to facilitate a development partners meeting against the backdrop of currently ongoing discussions in India regarding support for the extension of universal health coverage (UHC). Attended by WHO, UNICEF, World Bank, GIZ, DfID and USAID, the meeting has two main objectives: to get a better understanding of how each development partner is engaged and, going forward, how the development community could better collaborate in order to improve support for UHC in India.
After presenting their respective activities and plans regarding UHC in India, the partners agree to make additional efforts to improve information sharing, using the P4H network as their exchange platform. Further meetings will take place during the scheduled events of the partners and at P4H semester meetings in Delhi. The two first meetings will focus on quality and capacity development for UHC.
