Let’s support UHC Day
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means everyone can access the quality health services they need without financial hardship.
WHO: All people, including the poorest and most vulnerable.
WHAT: Full range of essential health services, including prevention, treatment, hospital care and pain control.
HOW: Costs shared among entire population through pre-payment and risk pooling, rather than shouldered by the sick. Access should be based on need and unrelated to ability to pay.
UHC is a means to promote the human right to health.
