Descripción
This policy note summarizes the central
health sector trends and challenges in the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) countries of the Middle East and North Africa
region (MENA). These countries are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, and Qatar.
The note also provides an overview of the GCC country
context, discussing the commonalities between the six member
states, and the major areas of engagement by the health,
nutrition, and population (HNP) global practice of the World
Bank in support of the health sector reform priorities of
these countries. The areas of engagement focus on three main
clusters of work: (i) developing multi-layered solutions for
improving non-communicable disease and road safety outcomes;
(ii) health system strengthening; and (iii) integrating
health policy solutions within the wider institutional and
policy frameworks in the GCC countries. The note builds on
an earlier HNP regional strategy prepared by the World Bank
in 2013 focusing on the concepts of fairness and
accountability. The strategy highlighted the importance of
improvements in health system performance in MENA countries
from an equity, accountability, and fiscal sustainability
perspective. The framework of the strategy covers equity in
health status, financial protection and responsiveness, and
the accountability of populations, payers, and health
service providers interacting within the health system.
