What is the state of commitment to universal health coverage around the world?
UHC2030 launched the first ever synthesis of the state of commitment to universal health coverage (UHC), as well as complete country profiles illustrating progress toward Health for All for all 193 UN member states.
The review is based on diverse stakeholder perspectives that reflect current country situations and asks a simple question: are governments taking action towards meeting their UHC commitments?
Findings show in many counties, poor and vulnerable groups, are once again being left behind, and inequities are widening due to the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic is also exposing and exacerbating weaknesses in health systems.
This must change.
