Towards an inclusive health system

We need to create people-centred health systems by fostering dialogue and effective community engagement.

Health system governance is a newly developed concept referring to the rules and norms that shape roles, responsibilities, incentives and interactions in the health sector. The Constitution of Nepal 2015 has called basic health care a fundamental right . The National Health Policy 2019 and the Nepal Health Sector Strategy 2023-2030 have been instrumental in developing and expanding a health system based on social justice and good governance. The strategic interventions aim to strengthen the social health protection system, integrating the most disadvantaged and marginalised communities.
