A core set of preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services/interventions that every country must provide/make to its people 2. The services must be of assured quality to be effective with behavioural 3. The services may be individual based or population based 4. The services may be of intersectoral nature or fiscal interventions 5. The level of service/intervention must be defined 6. People should not face financial hardship to access these services – hence prepayment system needs to be established with income-poor and other vulnerable people as a priority Health systems strengthening in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region 15
