Essential Health Packages (EHP): in a low-income country consists of a limited list of public health and clinical services provided at primary and/or secondary care level. In contrast, in richer countries, packages are often described according to what they exclude. What is considered essential may thus vary in different countries – reflecting variation in economic, epidemiological and social conditions.
