Health Sector Strategy

The 2001-2015 Health Sector Strategy (HSS) policy framework for government action on health expired in 2015. An evaluation of its content and its implementation guided the development of a new HSS that covers the period 2016-2027. This new strategy aligns with the Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (GESP) and with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The evaluation process of the expired 2001-2015 strategy and the development of the new strategy were participatory. It had the technical support of the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT) and experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the one hand, and contributions from partner administrations, private sector representatives, technical and financial partners (TFPs) and the civil society, on the other hand.
