Overview

NHSP in Sindh is a crucial initiative driving comprehensive primary healthcare (PHC) reforms to strengthen health systems and improve health and nutrition outcomes. This is achieved through a three-pronged strategy: aligning PHC to deliver a high-quality benefits package with demand generation and supply-side readiness; establishing integrated approaches for PHC service delivery in financing, human resources, and information systems; and addressing inadequate PHC funding and weak public financial management. By integrating essential services at PHC facilities, NHSP ensures efficient resource utilization, providing vital basic healthcare services to mothers and children. These efforts are fundamental to strengthening primary healthcare and advancing Sindh’s journey towards Universal Health Coverage.

Sustainable Development Goal 3.8 Achieve Universal Health Coverage

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means ensuring everyone has access to the quality health services they need. Precisely when and where they need them, without suffering financial hardship from healthcare costs. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 3.8 is tracked through two key metrics: the coverage of essential health services (SDG indicator 3.8.1), which assesses how many people are receiving the care they require, and catastrophic health spending (SDG indicator 3.8.2), which monitors the financial burden health costs place on households. Together, these indicators provide a comprehensive picture of progress in making quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all.
