    Description

    COVID-19 has exposed the widespread failure to invest in strong and universal public health systems, putting millions of lives at risk and dramatically widening health inequalities. Oxfam analysed the World Bank’s emergency health funding to 71 countries in response to the pandemic. While its response has been rapid and significant, Oxfam finds that the World Bank has missed vital opportunities to strengthen public health systems so they can tackle COVID-19 and deliver health for all in the future. 

    The research outlined in this briefing finds that 89% of World Bank projects do not plan to support any action to remove financial barriers, including user fees, that exclude millions from life-saving care; and two-thirds lack any plans to increase the number of healthcare workers. An urgent course correction is needed to help countries effectively fight the pandemic and build fairer, more resilient universal healthcare systems.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
