Project Description:

The USAID-funded Jordan Health Finance and Governance Activity (HFG) aimed to improve health sector sustainability and resilience in Jordan over five years. The activity supported Jordan’s commitment to UHC declared in its National Health Strategy 2016-2020 (“to provide health, financial and social protection to the entire population on a fair basis”)

HFG  applied a health system strengthening approach to address structural and systems-related weaknesses within Jordan’s health finance landscape, and address gaps and deficiencies within public sector health governance.
