In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries are working towards advancing Universal Health Care (UHC) and strategic health purchasing (SHP) to guarantee service delivery to populations they serve. 

SPARC has partnered with Amref International University and the Institute of Capacity Development to build capacity of health leaders and managers across Africa in UHC and SHP. 

Our inaugural five – day course commences today with the first cohort from Amref Health Africa and strategic partners.

The course will cover the following key areas:

1. Introduction to health systems
2. Introduction to UHC

4. Financial Protection
5. Advocacy for UHC
6. Population Coverage

8. Claims Management
9. Social Accountability

Look out for this course in future as we shall be rolling it out to health leaders and managers in Africa.
