  • Conducting a stakeholder analysis to gauge knowledge, positions, and resources regarding the HBP.
  • Qualitative assessment of stakeholder opinions on key issues like out-of-pocket payments.

    • Main Results:

    • Stakeholder analysis revealed support for HBP implementation from political and civil society sectors, but resistance from the private health sector.
    • A key point of contention among stakeholders is the potential abolishment of out-of-pocket payments and concerns over service utilization.
    • The private health sector, despite possessing the most resources, showed the least favor towards the HBP's implementation.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support the proposal of an HBP to advance universal health coverage in Lebanon.
    • Capitalizing on current political readiness is crucial for advancing HBP implementation.
    • A consultative process involving all stakeholders is essential for developing an effective HBP strategy and framework.
