Monitoring and Measuring UHCKey Messages
Equity is fundamental to UHC – all people get services they need at an affordable price
To monitor progress towards UHC – need to analyse social determinants of health and data disaggregated by: gender, wealth quintile, rural/urban, minorities, migrant populations etc.
Countries choose indicators according to their own priorities, capacity to monitor, and criteria
Many areas related to MDG and chronic conditions have agreed indicators
3Policy and planning
Global AgendaGlobal AgendaVision: Universal Health Coverage:
i.e. all people can obtain the quality health services they need without financial hardship
Targets:
Coverage with needed health services should be at least 80% for the poorest 40% of the population
No one should be pushed into poverty because they need health services and have to pay out-of-pocket for them.

5Policy and planning
Intervention & service coverageIntervention & service coverage
Many possible interventions for countries to monitor – countries choose according to their own priorities and capacity to monitor
For many areas related to MDGs and chronic conditions there are agreed indicators; for many others there is none
Use standard criteria for selecting indicators, to ensure technical soundness usefulness for policy makers and the general public
6Policy and planning
Criteria: choosing coverage indicatorsCriteria: choosing coverage indicators
A health priority based on burden of disease and addressed by a cost-effective intervention
Includes a measure of quality (effective coverage)Credible methods exist to identify the
(1) population receiving the intervention i.e. the numerator (2) population needing the intervention i.e. the denominator
Can be measured on regular basis: facility data / periodic household survey
Equity disaggregation is possible by income, gender, residence and other key stratifiers
Measureable in a comparable way across soum and aimags
7Policy and planning
Tracer indicators: MCH coverageTracer indicators: MCH coverage
Immunization: pentavalent (or other) vaccination coverage
Maternal health: Antenatal care: 4+ visits, TT, IPT2, PMTCTDelivery care / skilled birth attendant; Postnatal care
Treatment of pneumonia in children – more difficultChildren with suspected pneumonia (cough & difficult
breathing) taken to health facility; receiving antibiotics
8Policy and planning
Tracer indicators: NCD coverageTracer indicators: NCD coverage
Promotion: non-smoking, non-obese, physical exercise, salt intake, alcohol intake
Prevention: successful hypertension treatment coverage, cancer screening, HPV or hepatitis B vaccination
Treatment: people with angina receiving ambulant treatment etc., diabetes treatment and vision correction
Treatment: e.g. coronary angioplasty / bypass surgery

A measure of our civilization
and progress is not those
who have the most, but how
much we do for those who
have the least.
Prevention is the heart of
public health
but equity is the soul.
Margaret Chan, DG WHO
