Yet in discussions about service expansion, quality is often neglected.  As countries strive to expand health service coverage, what can be done to ensure that a focus on quality is also maintained? A seminar in January 2014 attempted to answer this question by examining the cases of three countries at different stages of progression towards UHC: Ghana, South Africa and the UK. This brief summarises case studies and emerging lessons from the seminar hosted by HLSP in partnership with DFID and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (London, 16 January 2014).  Read the summary brief The seminar was sponsored by the Mott MacDonald-DFID Centre of Excellence, set up in response to DFID’s Key Supplier initiative which called for suppliers to better communicate the value of the services they deliver. The Centre of Excellence acts as a conduit for engagement between DFID and Mott MacDonald, facilitating information and expertise sharing.
