The 9 volumes of DCP3 lay out a total of 21 essential packages. Each essential package addresses the concerns of a major professional community (e.g., child health or surgery) and contains a mix of intersectoral policies and health sector interventions. A total of 71 evidence-based policies with powerful potential to improve health were identified across multiple non-health sectors, such as implementing large excise taxes on tobacco products or installing traffic calming measures to reduce road traffic accidents. Interventions within the health sector, allocated across five platforms, comprise a suggested model of essential Universal Health Coverage with 218 interventions that provides a starting point for country-specific analysis of priorities.
