Description
The Health Financing Progress Matrix (HFPM) is the World Health Organisation's (WHO��s) standardized qualitative assessment of a country��s Health Financing system. The assessment builds on an extensive body of conceptual and empirical work and summarizes ��what matters in Health Financing for Universal Health Coverage (UHC)�� into nineteen desirable attributes, which form the basis of this assessment. The report identifies areas of strength and weakness in Uganda��s current Health Financing system, in relation to the desirable attributes, and based on this recommends where relevant shifts in Health Financing policy directions, specific to the context of Uganda, which can help to accelerate progress to UHC.
