Health Planning. System Strengthening, and Information Analysis Unit The public health sector in Pakistan was in critical need of a technical, advisory unit to develop and implement health system level reforms. A technically sound, academically credible unit was not only essential, but necessary to facilitate international and national discussions on health system strengthening. To support a coordinated planning and policy making body at the federal level, particularly in the context of devolution, USAID through the IHSS-SD project established the Health Planning, System Strengthening, and Information Analysis Unit (HPSIU) in 2019. During PY3, this unit served as a strategic, monitoring, and technical advisory arm of the Health Ministry to develop health sector reforms in Pakistan, including Universal Health Coverage (UHC). HPSIU is a fully functional integrated unit of the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations & Coordination. Key PY3 achievements of HPSIU, with IHSS-SD technical assistance, include: Health Planning and Reform HPSIU generated a body of evidence for the planning and reforms process. This evidence included developing a strategic policy framework, appropriate regulations, and accountability systems, and ensuring that they were established at the federal and provincial levels. HPSIU developed generic and province/area specific Disease Control Priorities-3 (DCP-3) and adapted the UHC Benefit Packages. Align Health System Strengthening activities in the country HPSIU promoted an understanding among policymakers about objectives and functioning of an efficient health system, challenges faced, and how it needs to be strengthened to provide quality UHC. HPSIU also commissioned fiscal space analysis of the MoNHSR&C annual budget.
