Figure 3: What are the reasons to prioritize health interventions
Conclusion
To conclude, a conceptually and practically feasible priority setting process would be
one that takes care of all trade-offs, while being transparent, precise and fully accountable of
the use of the resource pool available or being raised for healthcare services. While the
importance of preferentially subsidizing health interventions and products for UHC is
recognized globally, there is still a lack of national capacity on the concept of prioritization
and its amalgamation with UHC to have a holistic approach for a better healthcare system. A
better priority setting mechanism can be a constructive channel for the growing and
competing demands and calls for action in health.
