Even though there has been progress in selected health indicators, particularly for maternal and child health, thisprogresshas been inadequate and belowthe targets.  \nThis strategic plan focuses on addressing the health sector challengesand accelerating progress towards attainment of the national and global health goals, aimed at ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare to all in Zambia, asclosetothe family  \nas possible, Leaving No One Behind. This is expected to lead to the attainment of the SustainableDevelopmentGoals (SDGs), particularly the targets underSDG 3“Good health and wellbeing for all”, other health-related SDG targets, and ultimately, Universal Health Coverage (UHC) .  \nFurther, the plan is inline with, and seeksto contribute to the national development agenda, as outlined in the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) and the Vision 2030, which expressesthe Zambian people's aspiration to become “a prosperousmiddle-income nation by 2030” It also resonateswith theUnited Party for National Development (UPND) government's strategic socio-economic development agenda, focused on expanding coverage and improving the quality of healthservicesprovided to ourpeople.  \nThe Plan recognizes that all health care interventions are critical, however, due to the constraintson available resourcesand capabilities, interventions need tobe prioritized. In this respect, the main focus is on strengthening prevention; Primary Health Care (PHC), health promotion, public health security and nutrition. This will be done by increasing access to quality health services through infrastructure development, ensuring timely, adequate and equitableavailability of qualityessential medicinesand medical supplies, availability of human resource for health, scaling up healthcare financing and strengthening leadership and governance, and other supportingsystems.  \nThe country aims to reduce maternal and child mortality rates, malaria, HIV, TB and NCDs incidence among other key health outcomes, and combat COVID-19 through decentralised integrated community and primary healthcare approach. It is acknowledged that, good health is a function of not only health care services, but also other socio-economic factors, such as education, agriculture, housing, water and sanitation, sport and the environment. The Plan, therefore, calls for strong and well-coordinated multi-sectoral collaboration and partnerships, in order to efficiently and effectively address all the social determinants of health, to reduce the disease burden.  \n2022-2026 National Health Strategic Plan  i  \nIt ismywish that, with concerted effort and commitment from the Government, Cooperating Partners, NGOs, the private sector; the Civil Society, the Church, traditional and local authorities, communities and other stakeholders, the successful implementation of this Plan will contribute to socioeconomic development of thecountry.  \nI, therefore, implore all stakeholders involved in the implementation of this Plan to fully dedicate themselvesto this important national duty.  \nHon. SylviaT. Masebo, MP  \nMINISTER OF HEALTH  \nii  2022-2026 National Health Strategic Plan  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nThe National Health Strategic Plan (NHSP) 2022–2026 was developed through a consultative process, with broad participation and contributions from various individuals andinstitutions.
