The World Bank’s 3rd Annual UHC Financing Forum

The World Bank Group and USAID hosted the Third Annual Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Financing Forum from April 19-20, 2018, in advance of the World Bank Group’s Spring Meetings.

The Forum focused on mobilizing and shaping health financing to achieve equity and access to health services.
