        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b style="font-size:13px">Closer attention (analysis and policy) to the structural roots of fiscal limitations.</b> WHO must be mandated to work with the relevant UN agencies to identify and ameliorate the structural barriers to domestic funding capacity for healthcare in LMICs;</span></li>
        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b>Central role for public sector service delivery. </b>Primary health care encompasses preventive, promotive care and of public health interventions, all of which are known areas of market failure. Accordingly, they require public service delivery (or publicly administered programs even when services are contracted from private sector providers).</span></li>
        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b>Caution about marketising health care</b>. Clinical decision making on care should not be shaped by personal financial incentives. Insurance schemes, ‘pay for performance’, and fee-for-service approaches all tend to shift care provision to those services and customers that are most profitable for the private provider and thereby undermine equitable access to quality healthcare. </span></li>
        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b>Affordable access to all essential health commodities.</b> Countries or regions must have the capacity to obtain at affordable prices all the essential health commodities required for all primary health care services. This would necessarily require greater capacity in domestic manufacture, price controls, and public procurement. For example, in most LMICs, universal access to diabetes care will not be possible until human insulin and insulin delivery systems become much more affordable. </span></li>
        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b>New technology innovation for public priorities on non-commercial terms.</b> This requires a different approach to product innovation, one that is less based on restrictive patent regimes and more dependent on public financing and cooperation between academia, industry and governments in the global South. </span></li>
        <li><span style="font-size:12px"><b>Cost-effectiveness studies for choice of technology not for rationing access.</b> We see an important role for cost-effectiveness studies in determining what are the best technologies for addressing health needs and whether sophisticated new technologies are value for money. In a comprehensive primary healthcare approach, the principle must be that all basic services that are effective and cost effective must be included. Only exclusions need to be specified. Interventions that can be provided by existing categories of health workers and require health commodities are already on existing lists of essential medicines and diagnostics would cover 90% of primary care needs.  </span></li>
