How can we integrate rehabilitation with
other health programmes?
Consider linkages with
• Noncommunicable
diseases
• Occupational health
• Urban health
• Healthy ageing

What is Universal Health Coverage (UHC)?
• All people having access to quality health services
without suffering the financial hardship associated
with paying for care
– All people (population coverage)
– having access to quality health services (service coverage)
– without suffering financial hardship associated with paying
for care (financial risk protection)

WHO PEN can strengthen a health system.
Please refer to the large box at the right hand side of the slide. The three commonly desired impacts for all health systems regardless of context are reduced health risks and improved health; equitable health outcomes; and improved financial protection.
Now please refer to the colourful circle in the middle. To achieve these impacts, the latest action framework for universal health coverage in the Western Pacific Region identifies five necessary health system attributes. Each attribute in turn lists action domains for implementation.
Finally, please refer to the large box at the left hand side of the slide. The six health system building blocks of governance, health workforce, health financing, essential medicines and technologies, health information system, and service delivery are necessary to carry out the UHC action framework.
PEN strengthens health systems because its NCD management protocols require stakeholders to provide inputs to the health system’s building blocks.
Let’s think about the specific example of hypertension. PEN requires the ministry of health to coordinate service delivery at primary care level so that there will be trained physicians who can assess cardiovascular risk and then advise the appropriate management. Such management will need hypertension medicines and technologies. The physicians, staff, medicines and technologies will have to be financed. There should also be a health information system to monitor and evaluate both patient management and programme implementation.
