全世界都对全民健康保险(UHC)的概念产生了极大的兴趣。转向UHC的一个主要政策重点一直是关键的政策问题：应该提供什么服务，在什么条件下？在这篇文章中，我们关注的是如何明确定义一套可行的UHC服务，以创建通常所知的“健康福利一揽子计划”(HBP)，这是一套可以在特定国家的实际情况下获得可行资金并提供的服务。我们解释了为什么明确的HBP声明是重要的，然后描述了一个框架，该框架包括十个核心要素，如果要建立一个连贯和可持续的制定HBP的过程，这些要素是必不可少的。
There is immense interest worldwide in the notion of universal health coverage (UHC). A major policy focus in moving toward UHC has been on the key policy question: what services should be made available and under what conditions? In this article we are concerned with how a feasible set of UHC services can be explicitly defined to create what is commonly known as a "health benefits package" (HBP), a set of services that can be feasibly financed and provided under the actual circumstances in which a given country finds itself. We explain why an explicit statement of the HBP is important and then describe a framework that includes ten core elements that are indispensable if a coherent and sustainable process for setting the HBP is to be established.
