Dear colleagues,

I have the pleasure to send you the following link to a
new online-course on UHC that has been supported by P4H. Please distribute widely within your networks, especially to working groups on UHC in our partner countries. The course is
for free and will run from 10 January 2016 to 10 February 2016 as a pilot with approximate 300 participants – if you apply for the (facilitated) course please make
reference that you are part of a P4H supported group (and kindly let me know as well so that I can follow-up ;-)):

Overview:

With support of P4H funded by BMZ and DEZA managed by GIZ and with support of the World Bank, experts at the Harvard Medical School and the World Bank have created an open online course on Medicines
in Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) Health Systems Working toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Medicines play crucial roles in facilitating the goals of UHC - improving the health of individuals and populations and protecting households from financial risk - while ensuring the sustainability
of UHC systems. To achieve these goals, there is a need for integrated health care delivery and financing system approaches to managing medicines as UHC systems develop.

The 5-week facilitated interactive Medicines & UHC course will provide participants with:

• Frameworks for managing medicines in health systems working toward UHC;

• An understanding of the inherently competing objectives of medicines availability, access, appropriate use, and affordability;

• Approaches to using levers of UHC for balancing competing objectives, through sound pharmaceutical policies and programs;

The target course audience are practitioners working on health system reforms or management, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. They include decision makers and operational staff in ministries
of health, finance, and labor; health insurance organizations; civil society organizations; public, private, and mission health care delivery systems; international development organizations; and the local and multinational generic and research-based pharmaceutical
industry. The course may also be a valuable supplement for students enrolled in formal public health, medical, or pharmacy training programs.

Kind regards,
