Health in Asia and the Pacific: A Focused Approach to Address the Health Needs of ADB Developing Member Countries
Asian Development Bank | June 2015
Abstract
The Operational Plan for Health, 2015–2020 articulates the focused and scaled-up response of the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) to the health sector needs of its developing member countries. As they strive
to achieve universal health coverage and achieve better health outcomes, these countries need support to
develop innovative approaches to manage health care in new ways, more effectively, with better quality, and
for lower cost. ADB is a unique and invaluable partner through this process and is more committed than
ever to making health sector investments. The Plan sets ambitious targets, focuses on interventions where
demand is strongest, and builds on ADB’s strong expertise and previous successes in the health sector.
