Book excerpt: The Operational Plan for Health, 2015-2020 articulates the focused and scaled-up response of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the health sector needs of its developing member countries. As they strive to achieve universal health coverage and achieve better health outcomes, these countries need support to develop innovative approaches to manage health care in new ways, more effectively, with better quality, and for lower cost. ADB is a unique and invaluable partner through this process and is more committed than ever to making health sector investments. The Plan sets ambitious targets, focuses on interventions where demand is strongest, and builds on ADB's strong expertise and previous successes in the health sector.
