#HealthFinancingUG Closing remarks from Ms. Ruth while representing the Executive Director, @cehurduganda: "We have reflected on the hard truth, the funding gaps, the pressures on service delivery, and the constraints on our physical space. But we have also identified pathways to take us forward. Some short term, some medium term, and others long term. This ranges from expanding the tax base to include everyone participating in taxation, rolling out the national health insurance scheme, efficiency measures, where we address linkages among others, but also the multisector approaches to address the gaps within the health sector. So overall, the key findings, key recommendations, innovations can be summarized as strengthening domestic resource mobilization, while ensuring that allocation to health is both increased but efficiently utilized. Enhance public private partnerships and explore innovative financing mechanisms, improve accountability and governance so that every shilling spent brings tangible value to the people, continue to invest in primary health care, prevention, and community-based systems that build long term resilience. Partnerships remain critical. Even as donor funding shifts, collaboration across government, private sector, civil society, and development partners remain central to sustaining gains in health outcomes. Equity must stay at the heart of our efforts. Financing reform should not only sustain systems, but also protect the most vulnerable populations. @ngoforum @MinofHealthUG @EUinUG @cehurduganda
