WHO: Universal Health Coverage - What does it mean?

Written By World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday, Dec 11, 2015 | 03:41 AM

 
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) aims to ensure everyone receives the quality services they need, and is protected from health threats, without suffering financial hardship. It's a way of reducing poverty and increasing health security, so that no-one is left behind. This video message in support of UHC was recorded by WHO Director-General Margaret Chan for UHC Day 2015.
