1.Purpose of the Consultancy</b><br>
This consultancy will support the Health Governance and Finance Unit by conducting a regional situation analysis on health financing, establishing a Regional Health Financing Taskforce, and providing technical support to countries in advancing sustained and equitable health financing.<br>
<b>2.Background</b><br>
Health financing in the Eastern Mediterranean Region remains one of the most pressing challenges for advancing Universal Health Coverage. Across the region, countries face diverse realities, yet share common obstacles. In many states, households continue to shoulder a disproportionate burden of health costs through out-of-pocket payments, often pushing families into financial hardship and limiting access to essential care. Financing systems are frequently fragmented, with government budgets, donor contributions, and private insurance operating in parallel but without strong coordination. This fragmentation undermines efficiency and weakens the ability to pool risks effectively.<br>
Public spending on health is generally low compared to global benchmarks, leaving primary health care and preventive services underfunded. In fragile and conflict-affected settings, financing flows are disrupted, creating further inequities in access. Meanwhile, wealthier countries in the region often rely heavily on oil revenues, which makes their health systems vulnerable to economic fluctuations. Across the board, governance and stewardship remain critical gaps, with regulatory frameworks and accountability mechanisms not yet strong enough to ensure transparency and efficient use of resources.<br>
Despite these challenges, there are clear pathways forward. Expanding fiscal space for health through improved taxation and budget prioritization can help increase public investment. Strengthening social health insurance and community-based schemes would reduce reliance on out-of-pocket spending and provide greater financial protection. Efficiency gains can be achieved through better procurement, performance-based financing, and reducing waste. Above all, stronger governance and stewardship by ministries of health are essential to align financing strategies with national priorities and to ensure accountability. Regional cooperation also offers promise, as countries can share best practices, pool resources for emergencies, and collectively advance toward Universal Health Coverage.<br>
In short, health financing in the EMR is at a crossroads. The region&rsquo;s diversity of economies and contexts means that solutions must be tailored, but the overarching goal is the same: to build resilient, equitable, and sustainable financing systems that protect populations from financial hardship and guarantee access to essential health services.</p><p>
This consultancy aims to conduct a regional situation analysis on health financing, establishing a Regional Health Financing Taskforce, and providing technical support to countries in advancing health financing.</p><p><b>

1.Purpose of the Consultancy</b><br>
This consultancy will support the Health Governance and Finance Unit by conducting a regional situation analysis on health systems governance and providing technical support to countries in advancing health systems governance recovery and reform.<br>
<b>2.Background</b><br>
Health systems governance in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is a critical enabler of resilience, equity, and accountability. Framed through WHO&rsquo;s GPW14 Output 3.1.3, which focuses on strengthening evidence-informed policies, data systems, and monitoring, the region&rsquo;s governance landscape reveals both persistent challenges and emerging opportunities.<br>
The EMR is home to diverse political and economic contexts, ranging from high-income Gulf states to fragile, conflict-affected countries. Governance of health systems in this region is often fragmented, with ministries of health struggling to coordinate across multiple actors&mdash;government agencies, donors, private providers, and civil society. This fragmentation undermines stewardship and weakens accountability, directly affecting countries&rsquo; ability to deliver on GPW14 Output 3.1.3 indicators, which emphasize the adoption of evidence-based policies, strengthened health data systems, and robust monitoring frameworks.<br>
One of the most pressing governance gaps is the limited institutional capacity for evidence-informed policymaking. Many countries lack strong mechanisms to translate research into policy, and health research governance remains underdeveloped. Ethics oversight boards are unevenly distributed, funding is scarce, and national priorities are often misaligned with research agendas. This weakens the ability of governments to design policies that respond to population needs and to track progress against GPW14 indicators.<br>
Another challenge lies in health information systems. In several EMR countries, data collection is fragmented, with parallel systems operated by ministries, donors, and humanitarian actors. This reduces reliability and hinders comparability across countries. GPW14 Output 3.1.3 calls for stronger national health data platforms, interoperable systems, and digital health innovations. While some progress has been made&mdash;such as the expansion of digital health initiatives and the adoption of national hospital strategies&mdash;many countries still face gaps in data quality, coverage, and use.<br>
Monitoring and accountability mechanisms are also weak. Few countries have institutionalized performance monitoring frameworks that align with GPW14 indicators. This limits transparency and reduces trust in health systems. Strengthening governance requires embedding monitoring and evaluation into national health strategies, ensuring that progress toward Universal Health Coverage and equity goals is systematically tracked.</p><p>
Health systems governance in the EMR, when viewed through the lens of GPW14 Output 3.1.3, highlights the urgent need to strengthen evidence-informed policymaking, health data systems, and monitoring frameworks.<br>
This consultancy aims to conduct a regional situation analysis on health systems governance and providing technical support to countries in advancing health systems governance recovery and reform.</p><p><b>

Health Governance Consultant

Jhpiego

<div>Overview:
<div>
This consultancy pertains to assessing the referral pathway: community &lt;-&gt; primary care &lt;-&gt; secondary care &lt;-&gt; tertiary care integrated with the blood banking and patient transportation services in the Jhpiego intervention districts of Matiari, TandoAllahyar and Mirpurkhas under the ACHIEVE Project. The ACHIEVE project under one of its objectives provides end-to-end MNCH services&mdash;from pregnancy through early childhood&mdash;focused on preventing the leading causes of death and improving health outcomes.</div><div></div><div><br>
The purpose is to sketch the current landscape, undertake a situation analysis, recognize and assess bottlenecks and share recommendations for improvement.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
BACKGROUND</b><b>:
</b></div><p>Jhpiego is an International non-profit health organization affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University, USA. For more than 50 years, and in over 150 countries, Jhpiego has worked to prevent the needless deaths of women and their families. Jhpiego is dedicated to improving the health of women and families in developing countries and is implementing the ACHIEVE Project in Pakistan.</p><p></p><div><br>
Pakistan has made notable progress in expanding access to maternal and child health services over the past decade, yet preventable maternal and neonatal deaths remain high. Despite higher institutional delivery rates nationally, gaps persist in the quality of care, readiness of facilities, and timely access to life-saving interventions, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Obstetric complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and sepsis continue to drive maternal mortality, while delays in care-seeking, referral, and treatment exacerbate risks. Sindh province bears a disproportionate share of maternal and newborn health challenges. These range from lack of facility readiness for continuous availability of comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care (CEmONC), skilled personnel and functional referral systems. These gaps contribute to preventable maternal deaths, particularly from hemorrhage, which remains the leading cause of maternal mortality in the province making access to safe blood and blood products a critical enabler of maternal and newborn survival.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Hemorrhage, severe anemia, and obstetric complications frequently require urgent transfusion, yet many public facilities in Sindh possess a rudimentary and unresponsive blood banking and transfusion system plagued by limited voluntary donor pools, weak quality assurance, inconsistent storage and cold chain management, timely availability etc. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive, system-level approach that strengthens facility readiness, builds provider capacity, and ensures timely access to safe blood along with a critical required but less well recognized emergency patient transport system embedded in the referral pathway.</div><div><br>
</div><p>The overall purpose of the project is to strengthen district-level health systems in high-burden Sindh districts&mdash;TandoAllahYar, Mirpurkhas, and Matiari<b>-</b>by improving MNCH outcomes through robust and responsive emergency obstetric and newborn care, improving management of neonatal and child illnesses, and ensuring timely access to safe blood and emergency transport.</p><div>
Currently, referral pathways which play a pivotal role across levels of care are fragmented and undermine efforts of standardized quality care for saving lives. Referral pathways from community to facility and inter-facility whereas back-referral (step down), follow-up and feedback loops are rudimentary or almost non-existent. Gaps exist in:</div><ul><li>
Community and facility early warning, identification and timely referral and escalation of high-risk cases</li><li>
Weak coordination/communication between primary and secondary care</li><li>
Weak coordination/communication and delays in escalation to tertiary care</li><li>
Limited integration of blood bank services within referral pathways where needed</li><li>
Inadequate and inappropriate ambulance and/or transport services</li><li>
Poor documentation, feedback and follow up mechanisms</li></ul><div>
To address these systemic challenges, a comprehensive referral mechanism up or down the continuum and level of care pathway, which is integrated well with the required blood banking and ambulance / qualified transport service, is required to create and enforce a seamless and comprehensive quality of care model that can effectively deal with patient needs and facilitate in improving maternal and child morbidity and mortality indicators.</div>
