This publication includes a list of LTC interventions that all countries could consider, prioritize and provide and could integrate within health and social care sectors, depending on their context. The package should be implemented in line with overall plans to design, establish and expand formal, integrated LTC systems and services towards universal health coverage (UHC). The package is intended primarily for governments and policy-makers responsible for planning and implementing LTC service provision at national or subnational level. It provides guidance in foreseeing and mainstreaming essential LTC interventions, which can be contextualized according to local needs and resources. The package is neither a clinical guideline for LTC service providers in daily practice nor a manual, standard operating procedures or specific steps.
