DECEMBER 12 IS Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), UHC means that "all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship" (bit.ly/3ZkKMJC).
Quality, defined as "the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes", is a core dimension of UHC. "Access without quality can be considered an empty universal health coverage promise" since "even if the world achieved essential health coverage and financial protection, health outcomes would still be poor if services were low-quality and unsafe", argues a WHO, OECD, and World Bank report (bit.ly/3OFZJ4c).
