Governments and Policy-Makers: Implementing Effective Long-Term Care Interventions to Advance Universal Health Coverage

The publication provides a framework for long-term care (LTC) interventions that can be implemented by governments and policy-makers to improve LTC systems and services towards universal health coverage (UHC). This package is designed to assist in anticipating and incorporating essential interventions that can be tailored to meet local needs and resources. It is important to note that this guidance is not a clinical guideline, manual, standard operating procedures or a set of specific steps for LTC service providers in their daily practice.

The interventions outlined in the publication are meant to be adaptable to different settings and can help countries address the unique challenges they face in providing long-term care for their populations. By utilizing this package, countries can work towards improving their LTC services and moving closer to achieving universal health coverage. The goal is to ensure that all individuals have access to quality LTC services that meet their specific needs.
