Health Financing Progress Matrix assessment: Uganda 2023

Overview

This report provides a concise summary of the Health Financing Progress Matrix assessment in Uganda, conducted as part of the mid-term review of the national health financing strategy. The report was conducted using a highly participatory process, with the additional objective of building local health financing capacity. In addition to identifying strengths and weaknesses in Uganda’s health financing system, priority areas are highlighted in order to drive progress towards UHC; for example to address relatively high levels of catastrophic health spending. The findings of the assessment formed the basis of the mid-term review of Uganda’s current health financing strategy, with the aim of making necessary adjustments to improve health system performance. The latest data on key health expenditure, financial protection, and service coverage indicators are presented. Detailed responses to individual questions are available on the WHO HFPM database of country assessments or upon request.
