A concrete set of priorities for universal health coverage (UHC) is proposed in this chapter, grounded in economic reality and intended to prove appropriate to the health needs and constraints of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), by (1) developing a model benefits package referred to as essential UHC (EUHC); (2) identifying a subset of interventions termed the highest-priority package (HPP); and (3) presenting a case all countries—including low-income countries—could strive to fully implement the HPP interventions by community (e.g., child health or surgery) and contains a mix of intersectoral policies and health sector interventions. A total of 71 evidence-based policies with powerful potential to improve health were identified across multiple non-health sectors, such as implementing large excise taxes on tobacco products or installing traffic calming measures to reduce road traffic accidents. Interventions within the health sector, allocated across five platforms, comprise a suggested model of essential Universal Health Coverage with 218 interventions. that PROVIDES A STARTING POINT FOR COUNTRY-SPECIFIC AN*LYSIS OF PRIORITIES. feasibility, and cost-effectiveness in low-resource settings   policies include changes to the built environment, regulations, fiscal policies, and information and education. DCP work included an expansive portfolio advancing methodological approaches to economic evaluation, engaging with users and decision-makers in low- and middle-income countries, and contributing to the global knowledge base through journal publications, working paper series, and the development of topic-specific derivative products. All of this work and more can be found around the website. methodology to evaluate and quantify non-health impacts of health policy such as equity and financial risk protection and access to with partners in 5 countries and two WHO regions since 2010.
