The Strategy for Building Resilient Health Systems approved by PAHO/WHO Member States recognizes the need for increased and sustained financing to help improve the resilience of health systems, based on the principles of universal health. It emphasizes the need to prioritize investments in the first level of care (FLC) because of its impact on the levels of access and coverage in the territories.
Public health budgets serve as a public policy mechanism where governments’ health priorities are reflected, the care model is articulated, and resources are reallocated in the face of emergency events such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
This webinar aims to follow up on the discussion on the financing of primary health care and to analyze the prioritization of PHC in public spending in selected countries.Â
