Only recently did\u00a0national stakeholders working on the national social protection strategy\u00a0<\/strong>know that a health financing strategy was developed. On several\u00a0occasions, the HF DP group has requested the MOHFW for broad\u00a0inter-sectoral dialogue on health financing issues. So in this view, this event serves as a starting point towards active engagement of\u00a0national stakeholders and the establishment of an Inter-ministerial\u00a0Committee on HF – a kick-off for a series\u00a0of technical discussions to follow.<\/p>\n Agendas<\/strong> of national UHC conference and RTD [updated 14 and 18Feb]<\/em>:<\/p>\n 2014_02_14_UHC_Workshop_Agenda_Final<\/a><\/p>\n
