Monitoring progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage (UHC) is a priority of the Western Pacific Region. This country profile series aims to assist the country-led SDG and UHC monitoring process by providing a snapshot of the country situation, as well as a comparison to other countries in the region. Specifically, the country profiles explore the current SDG/UHC situation, guide and direct discussion on possible areas (and population groups) where performance may be low, and foster policy dialogues.
