Other priorities for the ASEAN Health Sector also include universal access to quality care and financial risk protections, as well as ensuring sustainable inclusive development where health is incorporated in all policies.
ASEAN Health Development Agenda
Guided by the ASEAN Vision 2025 and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025, and aligned with global health directions and trends, the ASEAN Health Sector adopted the ASEAN Post-2015 Health Development Agenda (APHDA) which encapsulates the shared goals, strategies, priorities and programmes of the health sector between 2016-2020.
There are 42 health-related strategic measures in the ASCC Blueprint which are currently being operationalized through the APHDA and its ASEAN Health Cluster Work Programmes. To achieve the vision, mission and goals of the ASEAN Health Sector, the APHDA will focus the cooperation and resources to implement regional programme and project activities for the 20 Health Priorities overseen by four ASEAN Health Clusters.
