International Federation of Red Cross And Red Crescent Societies
The IFRC Health and Care Framework 2030 outlines the agenda for change in health and care for the 192 National Societies and the IFRC Secretariat over the coming decade and links the work of all National Societies to the Universal Health Coverage agenda. The Framework aligns with and complements Strategy 2030, as well as the IFRC Secretariat’s Plan and Budget 2021-2025.
The Framework focuses on supporting National Societies in their delivery of community-led, people-centred interventions in all contexts, inclusive of emergency and non-emergency settings, and low-income/fragile settings as well as in middle- and high-income countries. The IFRC Secretariat’s health and care approach accounts for the social, economic and environmental determinants of health across a person’s life course and primarily aims at contributing to Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages) and 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all). However, the challenges of ensuring physical, mental and social wellbeing are integrated elements of almost all of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and indeed, public health and WASH are often a driving or at least contributing factor behind issues of dignity, resilience, inclusion and equity.
