Overview

All countries of the WHO SE Asia Region are making every effort to accelerate progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 by 2030 for the health and well-being of their populations. National legal frameworks help to attain these health goals, including universal health coverage (UHC), implementation of health policies, and the application of the International Health Regulations (2005).

This publication comprehensively maps the health-related legal support envisaged for UHC, including the national regulations and laws promoting the achievement of the health goals by 2030. It identifies seminal court decisions/best practices for achieving SDG3 targets. It is an evidence-based resource for all stakeholders involved in the implementation and follow-up of SDG3 on the interplay between public health, innovation and intellectual property for the achievement of UHC and SDG3 targets.
