Description

This National Health Policy (NHP) builds on gains made in the previous National Health Policy and Plan (NHPP 2011-2021), the Investment Plan for Building a Resilient Health Delivery System (2015-2021) and the Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS) (2011-2021). It aims to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) by improving access to safe and quality health services and to narrow the access gap for the most vulnerable populations. It provides health security and reduces health threats to the people of Liberia by reducing risks posed by epidemics and other events of public health significance. The National Health Policy is aligned with the Government of Liberia’s (GoL) Vision to “Build more capable and trusted state institutions that will lead to a stable, resilient, and inclusive nation.” The Government of Liberia’s strategic priority areas are also aligned to the Africa Agenda 2063 and the Economic Community of West African States’ Vision 2050. This Policy will guide the work of the Liberia health sector as envisioned in the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development  (PAPD) 2018-2023 as well as the Vision 2030 Agenda. It capitalizes on gains made over the past ten years and seeks to maximize synergies across programs in an inclusive manner in order to reflect a more integrated and sustainable approach required for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and the PAPD.
