No one should have to choose between health and other basic needs.
Governments can deliver #UHC right here, right now by reducing out-of-pocket costs and making care free for our most vulnerable.
We want to see more action this #UHCDay!
More than half the world’s population still can't access essential health services.
Countries must invest in primary health care that puts people at the centre, responding to their needs at every stage of life.
On this #UHCDay, we're calling for #UHC right here, right now!
Discrimination has no place in our communities or our health systems!
Involving communities in decisions and being accountable for results will help governments ensure our right to health.
With more than 1/4 of the world’s population unable to access health care, #HealthForAll cannot wait!
This #UHCDay, we call on governments to act on their promises and make #UHC a reality - right here, right now!
