Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Regional Integration

Background:

  • ASEAN nations exhibit significant diversity in health outcomes and healthcare systems.
  • Progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) varies considerably among member states.
  • Regional integration presents unique challenges and opportunities for UHC advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the progress of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in ASEAN countries.
  • To analyze the influence of regional integration on UHC within ASEAN.
  • To identify common barriers and potential strategies for UHC achievement.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review utilizing published, report, and gray literature.
  • Online and manual search strategies were employed.
  • Snowballing techniques were used to gather additional relevant data.

Main Results:

  • ASEAN countries have generally advanced towards UHC, supported by political commitments.
  • Key barriers include financial constraints, inadequate health workforce, and epidemiological transition (NCDs, infectious diseases).
  • Economic integration may exacerbate health inequities, necessitating explicit UHC considerations and increased health spending.

Conclusions:

  • ASEAN possesses substantial potential to enhance regional health outcomes.
  • Achieving higher health standards and social protection for all citizens is a key aspiration.
  • Economic integration, with careful planning, can support improved health and safety standards across the region.
