Papua New Guinea–WHO: Country Cooperation Strategy 2016–2020

The National Department of Health of Papua New Guinea and the World Health Organization (WHO) are pleased to present the Papua New Guinea–WHO Country Cooperation Strategy 2016–2020, which maps out priority health issues in Papua New Guinea to be addressed in cooperation with WHO over the next five years.

This country cooperation strategy (CCS) follows the midterm review of the National Health Plan 2011–2020 and other assessments of the country situation. Papua New Guinea faces a critical transition with increased decentralization of health services, ongoing challenges in providing essential services and increasing donor challenges. This CCS is strategically focused on sustainable solutions: strengthening health security and health systems, and improving partner coordination.
