The Health Equity and Quality Improvement Project Phase 2 (H-EQIP 2) built on lessons learned from H-EQIP to support the RGC in advancing UHC over a five-year period from July 2022 to December 2027 with a continued focus on improving financial protection and access to services for the poor and vulnerable, enhancing the quality and inclusiveness of health services, and strengthening the health service delivery system through planned activities from July 2022 to June 2027 with the second half of 2027 focusing on verification of performance-based conditions (PBCs) and evaluation and dissemination of lessons learned.
