The World Health Organization estimated Nepal had a UHC service coverage index of 53.0% in 2019. Similarly, the UHC service capacity sub-index was estimated at 30.0%, while the sub-indices for non-communicable disease (NCD), infectious disease, and reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health service coverages were 58.0%, 60.0%, and 77.0%, respectively [2]. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Nepal’s UHC service coverage index (converted on a scale from 0 to 100) could reach 57.3% by 2030 [3]. The data indicate the need for rapid improvement in service capacity and NCDs service coverage sub-index.
