| Description | The transaction technical assistance (TA) is required for designing the ensuing project and enhancing its readiness through appropriate advance actions. | ||||||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Sri Lanka''s current health system is facing challenges to sustain its performance due to rapidly changing demographics and epidemiological transitions. In particular, the cost of health care has been increasing due to the sharp rise in non-communicable diseases linked to lifestyles and rapidly aging population. The national health system also needs to expand services to vulnerable populations with lagging health indicators. In addition, there is increased threat of emerging and resurging infectious diseases linked to environmental factors and increased cross-border migration. The status quo of the health system is inadequately prepared to deal with these evolving challenges without significant reorientation and further improvements. The proposed assistance will enhance the Sri Lanka health system to adapt to emerging challenges and deal with shifting disease burdens. The project is included in Asian Development Bank''s Sri Lanka country partnership strategy, 2018 -2022. | ||||||||
