Pathways to UHC: Nigeria’s State and Local Approaches to Financing Integrated HIV Services and Primary Health Care
In the past decade, Nigeria has made progress mobilizing domestic resources and advancing financial protections for all, including vulnerable populations and those living with HIV, through decentralized government approaches to expanding primary health care (PHC). Panelists will discuss key state and local government-driven strategies and successes that enabled adoption of health insurance and service integration. Supported by the Abt-led USAID Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) project, these approaches have expanded access to integrated health care in five states.
From Lagos to Kano, learn more about how government partnerships, the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, other government-driven initiatives, and the latest health sector reforms are equipping Nigeria to build an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable health system that provides essential services for all while offering a replicable blueprint for other nations pursuing sustainable universal health coverage (UHC).
