Health Equity and Quality Improvement Project Phase 2 (H-EQIP 2)
$30 million, 2022-27
The Health Equity and Quality Improvement Project Phase 2 (H-EQIP 2) aims to improve health outcomes and increase financial protection for the poor by improving the quality of health care, strengthening health systems, and growing demand for and use of health services. H-EQIP 2 builds on the achievements of H-EQIP 1 and aligns with the Royal Government of Cambodia's priority of achieving Universal Health Care (i.e. everyone receiving the health services they need without suffering financial hardship).
H-EQIP 2 is led by the World Bank through an International Development Association loan arrangement with the Royal Government of Cambodia via a Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF). Australia played a key role in the design of H-EQIP 2 and is the major MDTF contributor.
