The publication presents a collection of long-term care (LTC) interventions that can be considered by all countries to enhance their LTC systems and services towards universal health coverage (UHC). These interventions are prioritized based on each country’s context and should be integrated within the health and social care sectors. This package is designed for governments and policy-makers responsible for planning and implementing LTC service provision at either the national or subnational level.
The guidance provided in the publication helps governments anticipate and incorporate essential LTC interventions that can be customized to meet local needs and resources. It is important to note that this package is not a clinical guideline for LTC service providers in their daily practice, nor is it a manual, standard operating procedures, or a set of specific steps. Instead, it serves as a framework for governments and policy-makers to consider when designing and expanding LTC systems and services.
By using this package, countries can improve their LTC services and move closer to achieving UHC. The interventions outlined are adaptable to different settings and can help countries address the unique challenges they face in providing long-term care for their populations. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that all individuals have access to quality LTC services that meet their specific needs.
