UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROJECT APS

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in the Philippines is pleased to announce the Universal Health Care Project (UHCP) Annual Program Statement (APS), which will improve health outcomes of underserved and vulnerable Filipinos in alignment with the United States Government (USG), USAID, and Philippine government objectives to achieve Universal Health Care (UHC). The UHCP is a suite of awards built to strategically improve national and local health systems in the Philippines across an integrated health portfolio. The UHCP will address challenges facing the health system in the Philippines by focusing on health systems strengthening (HSS), improving the quality of service delivery, and the adoption of positive social norms and behaviors. Project activities will implement focused health systems interventions to achieve key U.S. government objectives for tuberculosis (TB), family planning / adolescent reproductive health (FP/ARH), HIV/AIDS, global health security (GHS), health systems and other emerging public health concerns. Working together and in structured coordination, the awards under the UHCP will contribute towards a more resilient and equitable health system.
