This handbook presents the methodology for monitoring the Plan of Action on Human Resources for Universal Access to Health and Universal Health Coverage 2018-2023 of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Developed by PAHO in collaboration with the Andalusian School of Public Health (Spain), it defines and explains the objectives, indicators, and attributes of the three lines of action contained in the Strategy on Human Resources for Universal Access to Health and Universal Health Coverage and in the Plan of Action. It is intended for the ministerial teams responsible for human resources for health in the countries of the Region of the Americas and for the PAHO advisers who accompany them in this process. The methodology will serve as a technical cooperation tool to help the countries of the Region measure and evaluate their progress toward fulfilling the Plan of Action. It will also help them identify the main challenges in their specific context, with a view to making the necessary decisions. The information obtained through this process will also serve as input for the progress report and final report on the Plan of Action, to be submitted to PAHO's Governing Bodies in 2021 and 2024, respectively.

Universal Health Coverage has attracted global attention as an ideal vehicle that will drive health care services to the individuals, families, and communities globally. Good health systems are capable of serving the needs of entire populations, including the availability of infrastructure, human resources, health technologies, and medicines. This study seeks to identify the barriers and challenges which have hindered the provision of basic health care to communities and suggest ways of addressing some of them. Literature search reviewed 40 materials which were more relevant. Results revealed that there have been disparities in the provision of healthcare. Challenges in service provision include; lack of political commitment, weak health system resulting from limited financial allocation and poor leadership, lack of adequate number of skilled human resources, equipment and supplies and poor infrastructures. For UHC to be successful, an effective and well-functioning Primary Health Care (PHC) system is essential. Thus health systems can be strengthened through financial allocation; training of skilled and well-motivated healthcare workers. Also provision of right equipment and supplies, equity in resource distribution, improvement of infrastructures to meet the needs of the people is fundamental.
