UHC Day 2024 Theme: Health: it's on the government!
When populations are healthy, communities and economies prosper. That is why this Universal Health Coverage Day 2024 we call on decision makers around the world to protect people from financial hardship when accessing health services.
It is the responsibility of governments to ensure that healthcare is always affordable or free, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.
Background : Each year on 12 December, the world celebrates International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day), an official UN-designated day, to raise awareness of the need for strong, equitable and resilient health systems and universal health coverage (UHC).
UHC Day marks the anniversary of the UN’s historic and unanimous endorsement of UHC in 2012 as an essential priority for international development. Since then, it has become the annual rallying point for the growing movement for health for all.
Every 12 December (12.12), advocates raise their voices to share the stories of the millions of people still waiting for health, to call on leaders to make smarter investments in health and to remind the world the imperative of Health for All.
The high cost of health services is the primary reason people miss out on essential health care. These costs often force families to choose between paying for medicines or a visit to the doctor and other necessities, such as food, housing and education.
Health costs and illness should never push people into poverty! Investing in universal health coverage and financial protection not only enhances health and well-being but also fosters greater equity and social cohesion.
Everyone should have access to an affordable core package of essential health services, including quality medicines. No-one should be pushed into poverty when accessing these services.
