Universal health coverage (UHC) means that all people can obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. ‘Health for all” has therefore been our guiding vision for more than seven decades.
It’s also the impetus/drive behind the current organization-wide drive to support countries in moving towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Experience has illustrated, time and again, that Universal Health Coverage is achieved when political will is strong.
So in this 70th anniversary year, WHO is calling on world leaders to live up to the pledges they made when they agreed the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, and commit to concrete steps to advance the health of all people. This means ensuring that everyone, everywhere can access essential quality health services without facing financial hardship.
