Main content
The main findings in聽听补谤别:
Recommended interventions from DCP3 is organized into 21 essential packages. These interventions were selected by a systematic process using criteria of value for money, burden addressed, and implementation feasibility. Collectively, the 218 selected interventions are defined to constitute essential universal health coverage.
A subset if 108 interventions are suggested as a highest priority package, an important first step towards universal health coverage. This highest priority package should be affordable by low-income countries prepared to commit to rapid improvement in population health.
By implementing this, low-income countries will make substantial progress towards reduce premature deaths by 40 % by 2030, a goal closely mirroring the Substainable Development Goal 3.聽
