“…In this study, we did not assess the effects of the nutri-meals on micronutrient status, the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies, or growth. A similar study that investigated the effects of nutritionally balanced school meals compared with regular school meals in primary school students in India found no differences in height and weight gains after 1.5 years of intervention, but significantly greater reductions in signs of vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency, among those students who had received the nutritious school meals [20].…”

Background Developing essential health services through non-governmental organisations (NGOs) is an important strategy for progressing towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), especially in low- and middle-income countries. It is crucial to understand NGOs’ role in reaching UHC and the best way to engage them. Objective This study reviewed the role of NGOs and their engagement strategies in progress toward UHC. Method We systematically reviewed studies from five databases (PubMed, Web of Science (ISI), ProQuest, EMBASE and Scopus) that investigated NGOs interventions in public health-related activities. The quality of the selected studies was assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool. PRISMA reporting guidelines were followed. Findings Seventy-eight studies met the eligibility criteria. NGOs main activities related to service and population coverage and used different strategies to progress towards UHC. To ensure services coverage, NGOs provided adequate and competent human resources, necessary health equipment and facilities, and provided public health and health care services strategies. To achieve population coverage, they provided services to vulnerable groups through community participation. Most studies were conducted in middle-income countries. Overall, the quality of the reported evidence was good. The main funding sources of NGOs were self-financing and grants from the government, international organisations, and donors. Conclusion NGOs can play a significant role in the country’s progress towards UHC along with the government and other key health players. The government should use strategies and interventions in supporting NGOs, accelerating their movement toward UHC.
