This document outlines a framework for advancing universal health coverage in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. It identifies four strategic components: 1) developing a vision and strategy for universal health coverage, 2) improving health financing and financial risk protection, 3) expanding coverage of needed health services, and 4) ensuring expansion and monitoring of population coverage, especially for vulnerable groups. The framework was presented to provide guidance to countries on priorities like establishing multisectoral leadership, developing national health financing strategies, progressively expanding service coverage, and monitoring equity in progress toward universal healthcare.
