National Consultation on the Strategy for Universal Health Coverage
The National Consultation on the Strategy for Universal Health Coverage was held in Guatemala in 2014, within the framework of the 53rd Session of the Directing Council of the Pan-American Health Organization / World Health Organization. The aim of the consultation was to identify the steps the country had taken in the area of access to health, and to initiate a debate among members of international organizations, civil society experts, academia and government representatives. This debate was carried out through working groups in which different participants, following an evaluation guide, provided input to the Strategic Plan 2014-2019, which was later presented to the WHO Directing Council. The national contributions were summarized in a final report and, together with contributions from other countries in the region, are guiding elements for the realization of a universal, comprehensive and equitable health system.
