MANILA, August 22 — The Asian Development Bank has approved a US$45 million loan to help strengthen quality healthcare in 16 districts across 10 provinces in Laos, reported Xinhua.
“High-quality healthcare that meets the needs and expectations of patients, especially women and children, is key to Laos achieving universal health coverage by 2025,” said ADB Country Director for Laos Sonomi Tanaka. In recent years, the ADB said Laos has made progress in expanding access to healthcare and insurance. The national health insurance scheme introduced in 2015 covers 94 per cent of the population. Most of the population has access to health facilities within a reasonable travel distance.
