Tóm tắt :

Comprehensive primary health care (CPHC) is widely recognized as an inclusive, effective and efficient approach for achieving universal health coverage (UHC) and the health-related SDGs; a cornerstone for promoting health security through the provision of essential public health functions; and the foundation for sustainable and integrated people-centred health care. The UN High-Level Meeting on UHC, scheduled in New York in September 2023, through an anticipated Political Declaration by Heads of State and Governments, is expected to further enhance global commitment and momentum towards health for all through strengthened focus on primary health care (PHC). The South-East Asia Regional Strategy on Primary Health Care 2022–2030 (or the SE Asia Regional PHC Strategy), developed in consultation with South-East Asia Region Member States and partners and endorsed during the Seventy-fifth session of the Regional Committee, provides a unified framework for strengthening PHC as a foundation for achievement of UHC and the SDGs. The SE Asia Region PHC Strategy was guided by and aligns with key regional and global documents, particularly resolution SEA/RC74/R1. Moreover, as requested by the Seventy-fifth Regional Committee, the South-East Asia Regional Forum for PHC-oriented Health Systems (hereinafter also referred to as the SE Asia Regional Forum) was established as a government-led initiative to promote knowledge and experience sharing and synergized support from partners in tackling specific bottle necks for PHC strengthening in the Region. While there has been notable progress across Member States towards PHC-orientation of health systems, including in recent years, focused attention is required in the following areas: capacities to track and monitor progress and promote accountability; institutionalize and strengthen participatory mechanisms in UHC/PHC governance; strengthen knowledge management mechanisms to scale up and contextualize effective and cost-efficient models; and promote synergized support from WHO and partners tailored to national systems and context, especially in tackling implementation bottlenecks. Improving quality, integration of disease control programmes particularly NCDs, ensuring continuum of care across the life course and levels of care, integration of public health functions, developing multidisciplinary teams to provide PHC, and leveraging digital health for people-centred PHC are some of the common challenges that countries in the Region face with regard to PHC.This Working Paper was presented to the High-Level Preparatory (HLP) Meeting for its review and recommendations. The HLP reviewed the paper and made the following recommendations for consideration by the Seventy-sixth Session of the Regional Committee:Action by Member StatesParticipate in the preparation of the Roundtable and development of the Ministerial Declaration, including the virtual consultation and discussions at the second meeting of the SEAR PHC Forum.Actions by WHOInclude comments from Member States to further highlight the significance of key recommended topics in the technical report to the Seventy-sixth Session of the Regional Committee for South-East Asia and the discussion stated above, including investment and financing for PHC, linkages between PHC and other levels of health care, digital health and telemedicine, PHC infrastructure, climate change resilience and traditional medicine.Facilitate discussions, under the leadership of the Government of India as the host country, among Member States to prepare and develop the Ministerial Declaration for smooth adoption through consensus at the Roundtable.This Working Paper and the HLP Meeting recommendations are presented to the Seventy-sixth Session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia for its consideration and decision.
