“…We found that in all countries people are generally unsatisfied with their current health system, suggesting that major reforms, particularly those that are co-designed with users, may find a receptive public. 59 Reforms are particularly urgent given the waning confidence in public health systems at a time when people’s aspirations for good health care have never been higher.…”

“…70 Although the individual federal states in Nigeria are not directly a party to the IHR, the capacity for detection and response at the state level has a direct effect on determining Nigeria's capacity to fulfil its obligations under this law. 71 The levels of outbreak preparedness and response capacity vary across the federal states in Nigeria. Nigeria's first JEE was carried out in 2017, with the involvement of only national experts, focusing on the capacity at the national level.…”

“…Moreover, disadvantaged groups in society may face challenges that hinder their effective participation in deliberative processes. 26 The challenge for the appraisal committee is to mitigate such differences, if present. Importantly, stakeholder involvement in the appraisal committee does not necessarily need to lead to mutual consensus on a recommendation, or to a joint decision.…”

Progressive realisation of universal health coverage: what are the required processes and evidence?

Progressive realisation is invoked as the guiding principle for countries on their own path to universal health coverage (UHC). It refers to the governmental obligations to immediately and progressively move towards the full realisation of UHC. This paper provides procedural guidance for countries, that is, how they can best organise their processes and evidence collection to make decisions on what services to provide first under progressive realisation. We thereby use ‘evidence-informed deliberative processes’, a generic value assessment framework to guide decision making on the choice of health services. We apply this to the concept of progressive realisation of UHC.We reason that countries face two important choices to achieve UHC. First, they need to define which services they consider as high priority, on the basis of their social values, including cost-effectiveness, priority to the worse off and financial risk protection. Second, they need to make tough choices whether they should first include more priority services, first expand coverage of existing priority services or first reduce co-payments of existing priority services. Evidence informed deliberative processes can facilitate these choices for UHC, and are also essential to the progressive realisation of the right to health. The framework informs health authorities on how they can best organise their processes in terms of composition of an appraisal committee including stakeholders, of decision-making criteria, collection of evidence and development of recommendations, including their communication. In conclusion, this paper fills in an important gap in the literature by providing procedural guidance for countries to progressively realise UHC.
