Sustaining priority services for HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections in a changing funding landscape

The publication outlines practical steps to support countries in assessing risks, setting priorities and adapting services and systems. It introduces a stepwise priority-setting framework that organizes services into three tiers based on their contribution to achieving national and global health outcomes.

Key elements of the guidance include:

• key steps to assess and monitor service disruptions and health financing risks;

• a systematic process for setting priorities for services and interventions; cross-cutting enablers such as health workforce strategies, resilient supply chains, integrated data systems and inclusive governance;

• emphasis on people-centred approaches and sustained community engagement to ensure that services remain accessible, acceptable and responsive to those most severely affected;

• opportunities for service integration, especially within primary health care, to enhance efficiency and sustainability; and

• strategic recommendations for financing transitions, including alignment with public financial management systems and domestic resource mobilization.
