ADB - Health and Social ProtectionADB - Health and Social Protection
Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Operation Plan for Health, 2015-2020 (https://www.adb.org/documents/adb-operational-plan-for-health-2015-2020) aims to support Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through health infrastructure, governance, and financing. UHC means that all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship (World Health Organization).
In 2017, the health sector received $230 million ADB Assistance.
