Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s health system has a long track record of strong performance. This case study describes the main features and achievements of Sri Lanka’s high-performing health system, to distill lessons for the rest of the world. UNICO case studies focus on a particular health coverage program. In Sri Lanka, the selected health coverage program is the government’s national health service (NHS) that was established in the 1930s and has remained broadly the same since then. Thus, the entire government health system is taken as the health coverage program, without narrowing the focus to a specific program. The relationship between the government system and the private health sector in Sri Lanka is explored in the case study. Looking forward, the pending agenda related to addressing the health needs of an aging population is also discussed.

| description |
Sri Lanka’s health system has a long
track record of strong performance. This case study
describes the main features and achievements of Sri Lanka’s
high-performing health system, to distill lessons for the
rest of the world. UNICO case studies focus on a particular
health coverage program. In Sri Lanka, the selected health
coverage program is the government’s national health service
(NHS) that was established in the 1930s and has remained
broadly the same since then. Thus, the entire government
health system is taken as the health coverage program,
without narrowing the focus to a specific program. The
relationship between the government system and the private
health sector in Sri Lanka is explored in the case study.
Looking forward, the pending agenda related to addressing
the health needs of an aging population is also discussed. |
