(2022 - Present) Global Health Research Unit on Health Financing for Universal Health Coverage in challenging times (HFACT): leaving no-one behind
Description: The long-term goal of this NIHR Unit project is to strengthen capacity in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and South Africa to adapt health financing policies and programs for resilient, equitable, and sustained progress towards UHC. Special emphasis is placed on the poor and marginalized populations in these four large middle-income countries, characterized by high levels of economic and health inequalities. The Unit pursues four objectives to achieve its overall aim: 1) Produce policy-relevant, actionable research, applying and developing innovative health economics methods to address major health financing challenges hindering UHC progress. 2) Strengthen and expand research capability in using health economics/financing for decision-making in partner countries among both academic researchers and policy practitioners (including via south-south knowledge exchange network). 3) Strengthen and develop stakeholder coalitions with policymakers, civil society partners, and the public in partner countries to improve the relevance and quality of policymaking in health financing, and foster greater use of health economic evidence in decision-making. 4) Engage with international organizations/stakeholders/policymakers (e.g., WHO, PAHO, the World Bank, bilateral donors) to share findings, promote global uptake, and influence global UHC policies.
