<br><p></p><div><p><b>TA Title:</b> Delivery Unit to Implement the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Roadmap</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>Programme</b></p>
<p>
Evidence for Health (E4H) is a Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO)-funded programme aimed at strengthening Pakistan's healthcare system, thereby decreasing the burden of illness and saving lives. E4H (2023-2027) provides technical assistance (TA) to Punjab and also to the Federal and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) governments. The Punjab component is being implemented by Palladium along with Oxford Policy Management (OPM).</p>
<p>
Through its flexible, embedded, and demand-driven model, E4H Punjab will support the government to achieve a resilient health system that is prepared for health emergencies, responsive to the latest evidence, and delivers equitable, quality, and efficient healthcare services. Specifically, E4H will deliver TA across three outputs:</p>
<p><b>
Output 1: </b>Strengthened integrated health security, with a focus on preparing and responding to health emergencies, including pandemics.</p>
<p><b>
Output 2: </b>Strengthened evidence-based decision-making to drive health sector performance and accountability.</p>
<p><b>
Output 3: </b>Improved implementation of Universal Health Coverage, with a focus on ending preventable deaths.</p>
<p>
E4H-Punjab works in partnership with the Punjab Department of Health (DOH).</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>Terms of reference</b></p>
<p><b>
Background and Problem Statement</b></p>
<p>
Accelerating the implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is one of the core objectives and key thematic areas of the Evidence for Health (E4H) Programme in Punjab. Under SDG 3.8, UHC is considered the best investment in human capital and a foundational driver of sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development.</p>
<p>
Despite improvements in the National UHC Service Coverage Index (SCI), which increased from 39.7 in 2015 to 52.7 in 2022, only half of Pakistan's population has access to essential health services. According to Pakistan's UHC Monitoring Report 2023, achieving an SCI of 80+ by 2030, as targeted by SDG 3.8.1, will be challenging.</p>
<p>
In Punjab, the SCI was slightly higher than the national average, at 53.8 in 2022. A notable milestone was the finalisation of the UHC Benefit Package/Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS) by the provincial government in 2021. This comprehensive package underscores the government&rsquo;s commitment to UHC by ensuring the provision of essential health services to all residents of Punjab, marking a significant step towards improving population health and achieving UHC.</p>
<p>
Despite these efforts, UHC implementation in Punjab faces significant challenges on governance, accountability, and use of data systems for evidence based decision making. There are also socioeconomic and geographic disparities in healthcare access across the province, particularly in the southern regions where SCI scores remain low. The Primary &amp; Secondary Healthcare Department (P&amp;SHD) plans to enhance UHC investments and optimise existing resources while maintaining rigorous service delivery monitoring.</p>
<p><b>
Strategic Approach</b></p>
<p>
The E4H Programme will provide Technical Assistance (TA) to establish a delivery unit to monitor the roadmap for UHC. Creating this unit must align with expanding the existing Family Planning Delivery Unit under the DAFPAK programme.</p>
<p><b>
This TA Package in Punjab will be linked with three other ongoing/or proposed activities including:</b></p>
<div>
<ul><li><p>The UHC Roadmap</p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li><p>Trickle down TA of the District Action Plans for UHC in which E4H may choose to select/socio-economically deprived districts aligning with major reforms and revamping plan of the health facilities</p>
</li></ul>
<ul><li>Track progress the of the UHC monitoring and evaluation framework developed in the previous FCDO investment and also assess the need to update some of the baseline figures of the proposed indicators.</li></ul>
</div> <ul><li>The Government of Punjab has adopted a roadmap approach for <b>six</b> priority areas, including the health sector.</li>
<li>
<p>The Health Sector Reform Plan (HSRP) 2024-2029 for Punjab encompasses reviving the Roadmap approach for comprehensive reforms, revamping Basic Health Units (BHUs) and Rural Healthcare Centres (RHCs) with substantial investments, shifting the focus on family planning to healthcare facilities, outsourcing facility management and community health workers, launching mobile health units under the Chief Minister Clinic on Wheel Initiative, implementing EMR and HMIS for data integration, enhancing preventive care with new vaccine and improved immunisation services, continuing and revising Universal Health Insurance, formulating a Stunting Reduction Programme, and developing a significant initiative to address non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and Hepatitis C.</p>
</li>
<li><p>In the budget&mdash;in the first three months&mdash;four schemes cost around PKR 40 billion to rehabilitate and revamp BHUs and RHCs. These are part of the provincial Annual Development Plan (ADP).</p>
</li>
<li><p>The Delivery Unit will be housed within HISDU. It will act as the secretary's operational arm to ensure that the P&amp;SHD&rsquo;s UHC roadmap is implemented, monitored, and reviewed to ensure any strategic interventions at the Secretary&rsquo;s level.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To enhance the Delivery Unit's operational support, E4H plans to execute a parallel TA focusing on developing the UHC roadmap. This strategic TA aims to engage key stakeholders at the level of the Health Minister for P&amp;SHD and the Chief Minister. It is designed to facilitate the UHC Steering Committee's reestablishment, ensuring that UHC SCI's improvements are achieved through combined strategic and operational efforts.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The successful implementation of the roadmap should improve UHC SCI across all districts in the province.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The Delivery Unit will take advantage of the improved data flow following the execution of the TA of data governance that E4H is concurrently providing and report quarterly to the Roadmap Oversight Team housed in the Chief Minister&rsquo;s (CM) office in Punjab.</p>
</li>
</ul><p>It is important to note that given Punjab&rsquo;s current UHC SCI score, the country&rsquo;s strained economic resources, and the CM&rsquo;s roadmap approach, the Delivery Unit will prioritise the primary care level as the first phase of the health sector reform strategy. The fact that Punjab has historically focused on tertiary care also factors into this strategic priority for the province now.</p>
<p><b>
Objectives</b></p>
<p>
The main objective of the delivery unit is to monitor progress of the UHC roadmap which will be developed through TA under E4H and to build institutional capacities for evidence-based decision-making and accountability. It will define key performance indicators for the South, North, and Central districts in Punjab, monitor them regularly, and analyse data to report regularly in stocktakes.</p>
<p><i>

<ul>
<li>Set up an integrated data dashboard connected to data flowing into HISDU that collates real-time data.</li>

<li>The Unit will identify any possible areas where they can help cross validate data collected by the MERL component of this Programme such as Health Facility Assessment findings. Conversely, the Unit&rsquo;s deliverables such as policy briefs and analytics can be reviewed by the Programme&rsquo;s MERL team. This collaborative effort will further help identify areas for implementation research.</li>
</ul>
<p>The UHC Delivery Unit will comprise a Team Manager (01), Associates (02), and Analysts (04) who will collectively work towards the successful implementation of the roadmap approach in UHC implementation. This Delivery Unit will work to improve the <b>UHC SCI, </b>a single indicator based on four proxy areas and their corresponding tracer indicators. The four proxy areas include Infectious Diseases (ID), Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD), Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) and Service Capacity and Access. Although the team knows that the UHC SCI Is currently calculated using data from demographic surveys, there will be an effort to map Input and outcome Indicators.</p>
<p><b>
Expected Deliverables, Outputs, Outcomes</b></p>
<p>
All team members of the Delivery Unit will be engaged through results/deliverables-based contracts. Each consultant will have a monthly deliverable in the form of a progress report detailing the exact nature and <b>expected outputs</b> of their TA over the previous month. The TA delivered in the progress report will be assessed for quality by the P&amp;SHD and E4H. Achievement against quality will be used as criteria for final sign-off and payment by the Consortium Partners.</p>
