Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere
History is made by our achievements. We have come a long way to make the impossible possible: from the control of fire, to life-saving vaccines to landing on the moon. Our next historic achievement is right in front of us: health for all humankind. What if everyone had access to the health services they need? What if they were not pushed into poverty paying for the services? Together, we can make universal health coverage happen in our lifetime.
