OUTCOME
Person-centered care, services, and information throughout the life course
Build resilient health systems for universal access to health and universal health coverage based on primary health care

Medium

Scope

Achieving this outcome requires the expansion of integrated quality, and highly resolutive health care and services to be delivered throughout the life course, including sexual and reproductive health services for women2, as well as health services for mothers and newborns, responding to the unique needs of populations where they live, based on the primary health care approach. Specifically, the following actions will be implemented:

  1. Strengthen the capacity of health systems and services to increase resilience and deliver integrated person-centered care throughout the life course and ensure access to and coverage of quality person-centered health services for all, addressing the differentiated needs of people where they live in the context of a rapid demographic and epidemiological transition.
  2. Strengthen integrated and person-centered care through the primary health care approach to boost and maintain health capacities and address communicable and noncommunicable diseases; vaccine preventable diseases; risk factors across the life course; sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent, and older persons’ and migrant populations’ health; and the social determinants of health.
  3. Strengthen integrated health service delivery networks and improve the organization, management, and governance of health services at both the individual and population level, increasing the resolution capacity of the first level of care. This involves developing innovative models of care that are intersectoral and person-, family-, and community-centered and promote coordination, communication, information, and continuity of care and the integration of priority health programs, health technology and telemedicine services in health service networks.
  4. Promote, strengthen, and improve health care for women and adolescents, mothers, and newborns, accelerating the reduction of maternal, neonatal, and child mortality, and strengthening capacity in sexual and reproductive health3 policies, care, and services.
  5. Increase the capacity to respond to the differential needs of all populations through the reduction of availability, geographic, organizational, acceptability, and financial barriers to accessing health care and services, particularly for older persons and other people in conditions of vulnerability.
