Political Declaration of the High-level Meeting on Universal health Coverage "Universal Health Coverage: moving together to build a healthier world

On 23 September, at the United Nations General Assembly, all 193 UN Member States adopted a high-level political declaration on universal health coverage in New York, the most comprehensive document ever on global health and the right to access quality services for all. The meeting, ‘Universal Health Coverage: Moving Together to Build a Healthier World’, brought 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.
