Comments/ Question to audience: Other next steps?
  1. Concern to have a full view of UHC-(pulling resources, developing benefit packages, developing initial fees, and accepting providers based on quality of service & payment process)
  1. Attention to quality of care and not just finances
  1. this group is focusing on the health financing 
  1. Development of use cases
  1. what is the process to decide upon prioritization of use cases (is this within the community sharing platform/within this conference/etc?) 
  1. African Health Market for Equity- multiple countries with varied level of successes
4. Willingness to engage in user centred approach 
5. Discussion about UHC/payment and reimbursement options - how can the right incentives be setup? and which systems are needed to support the incentives
6. Connection to civil registration system (CRVS)
7. Question of equity - how much money is paid, how much does government has to invest. Data is needed to advance health financing.
