A Healthier Future: Transforming Gambia's Healthcare System
WHO supports Gambia's goal for universal health coverage with NHIS, enhancing healthcare access and resilience through strategic health governance and promotion
STRENGTHENING SYSTEMS, SAVING LIVES
In an ambitious move to enhance health governance and push towards universal health coverage, WHO supported the Ministry of Health (MoH) in developing a comprehensive national health promotion strategy.
Supporting the introduction of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is a testament to our commitment to support the government’s goal of ensuring that every citizen has access to essential health services, a critical component of our governance and human rights agenda. These initiatives will improve healthcare access and reduce financial burden, promoting a healthier nation for all Gambians.
In addition, WHO support was pivotal in strengthening health governance by developing a national health promotion strategy and a comprehensive framework for health in all policies. These strategic frameworks are designed to enhance the nation’s preparedness and response to health emergencies, including pandemics like COVID-19.
