Consensus emerged on several key actions. First, it is important for every country to have a comprehensive health financing strategy with a road map for attaining universal health service coverage vision. Second, the national health financing strategy will need to be informed by national health accounts analysis and strongly anchored in costed national health sector strategic plan. Third, countries ought to make concerted efforts to fulfil the promise to their citizens of allocating on a sustained basis at least 15% of the annual nationalbudget to health and to use the amounts allocated equitably and efficiently. It was felt that this would give the African Union moral authority to nudge developed countries to fulfil their own commitments to Africa. And fifth, there is need for increasing physical and financial access of pregnant women, lactating mothers and children under five years of age to quality health services.
