Universal Health Coverage in Emerging Economies featuring World Bank Group President Jim Kim

As countries around the world become wealthier and their empowered citizens increasingly push for better social services, an increasing number of countries - especially emerging economies - seek to provide affordable health care as an essential step to promote long-term economic development and social stability.

Over the course of a day-long CSIS conference, global health and finance experts will discuss: why universal health coverage is gaining momentum; how to build a coverage scheme, including the role of the private sector; and how countries can optimize resources.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided to registered guests.
