Third SEARO-WPRO bi-regional health financing policy workshop

Overview

This was the third in a series of annual workshops developed specifically for countries in Asia. In 2018 the focus was on strategic purchasing for primary health care (PHC) with particular attention given to implementation issues. The workshop gave an opportunity for countries to exchange experiences on the “how to” and share promising practices across 17 countries. The event was co-organised and co-sponsored by WHO Regional Offices for South-East Asia (SEARO) and the Western Pacific (WPRO), with the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank, making it instrumental in coordinating and leveraging health financing work across development partners.
