Table 3 Global-level framework for monitoring UHC

Goal

Achieve UHC – All people should have access to the quality, essential health services they need without enduring financial hardship

Target

By 2030, at least 80% of the poorest 40% of the population have coverage to ensure access to essential health services

By 2030, everyone (100%) has coverage to protect them from financial risk, so that no one is pushed into poverty or kept in poverty because of expenditure on health services

Health service coverage indicators

1. Aggregate: A measure of MDG-related service coverage that is an aggregate of

2. single intervention coverage measures

3. Equity: A measure of MDG-related service coverage for the poorest 40% of the population

CCIs-related indicators:

1. Aggregate: A measure of CCIs-related service coverage that is an aggregate of single priority interventions to address the burden of NCDs, including mental health and injuries

2. Equity: A measure of CCI service coverage for the poorest 40% of the population

Financial risk protection indicators

Impoverishing Expenditure:

1. Aggregate: A measure of the level of household impoverishment arising from out-of-pocket expenditures on health, equal to the ratio of the poverty gap in a world without out-of-pocket payments to the actual (larger) poverty gap.

Catastrophic Expenditure:

2. Aggregate: The fraction of households incurring catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditures.

3. Equity: The fraction of households among the poorest 40% of the population incurring catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditures.
