Of 160 articles, 32 articles were included in the analysis. Findings identified main six challenges in health financing towards achieving UHC in the Southeast Asian region as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Unsustainability of revenue-raising methods<\/li>\n
  2. Fragmented health insurance schemes<\/li>\n
  3. Incongruity between insurance benefits and people\u2019s needs<\/li>\n
  4. Political and legislative indifference<\/li>\n
  5. Intractable and rapidly rising healthcare cost<\/li>\n
  6. Morally reprehensible behaviours<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The challenges identified are diverse and therefore require a multifaceted approach. Regional collaborative efforts between countries will play an essential role in the progress towards UHC and in narrowing the inequity gap.
