The World Bank Group announced a new goal on Thursday, namely, to help countries provide affordable medical services to 1.5 billion people by 2030. Specific measures include expanding the scope of services to remote areas, reducing medical costs and other financial barriers, and focusing on lifelong care.
The World Bank said it would use funds, its own health expertise and new partnerships with private enterprises, non-governmental organizations and civil society groups to achieve this goal. The World Bank defines this goal as that a person receives treatment from a health care worker through personal treatment or remote appointment.
The World Bank estimates that about 2 billion people around the world face serious economic difficulties in paying for medical services. According to the report, climate change, epidemics, conflicts, social aging and the expected shortage of 10 million medical staff by 2030 have exacerbated this problem.
Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank, said in a statement: "It is vital for development to provide people with basic standards of care throughout their lives." "This goal cannot be achieved alone. This will require partners, an alliance of the public and private sectors, to work together to expand access to health care services."
The World Bank says IDA funds for the poorest countries will be used to bring health workers to communities where people may not have access to services.
The World Bank said that in middle-income countries, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development will deploy funds to encourage governments to invest in health and regulations to provide market certainty and attract private sector investment, including drugs and medical equipment.
The World Bank added that Japan is launching a knowledge center on its universal health care system to improve the capacity and expertise of other health sectors, an initiative supported by the World Bank and the World Health Organization.
