UN high-level meeting on universal health coverage on Sept 23
The United Nations high-level meeting on universal health coverage will be held on September 23 under the theme of “Universal Health Coverage: Moving Together to Build a Healthier World.”
The event will bring together heads of state, political and health leaders, policy-makers, and universal health coverage champions to advocate for health for all.
Universal health coverage means all people have access to the health care they need, when and where they need it, without facing financial hardship. With a strong foundation of primary health care, universal health coverage is one of WHO’s key priorities, making up one of the Triple Billion Goals (link). WHO is working with Member States, partners and other key actors to help countries strengthen health systems for universal health coverage around the world.
The meeting will aim to garner financial and political commitments from countries and sustain health investments. It will focus on accelerating progress towards universal health coverage, including access to essential health services, including skilled health workforce, financial risk protection and access to safe, quality, effective and affordable medicines and vaccines for all.
The meeting will result in a political declaration on universal health coverage, negotiated by Member States and endorsed by Heads of State.
