Abstract
Introducing The Lancet Global Health Commission on financing primary health care: putting people at the centre
Highlights
Primary health care (PHC) is an essential component of high-performing health systems, delivering effective, affordable, and inclusive care to people when they need it, and providing the foundation for both universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals
Health financing arrangements provide the fuel for health systems: they establish the amount of resourcing available and the way in which risks are shared among those who are ill and those who are well, the ways that funds flow through the system to frontline providers, and the payment systems that create incentives for providers
The way in which health systems are financed can drive changes in how services are delivered—for example by encouraging new models of provision and service delivery that are more people-centred than existing models
