Join WHO on a journey to achieve Health For All! 75 years of improving public health.

Focusing on the journey to achieving Health For All,

Universal health coverage (UHC) offers financial protection and access to quality essential services , lifts people out of poverty, promotes the well-being of families and communities , protects against public health crises, and moves us toward #HealthForAll.

To make health for all a reality , we need: individuals and communities who hav e access to high quality health services so that they can take care of their own health and that of their families; skilled health workers providing quality, people-centred care ; and policy-makers committed to investing in universal health coverage .                    

COVID-19 set back every country’s journey to #HealthForAll. World Health Day 2023 - "Health for All." - PAHO/WHO.

  COVID-19 and other health emergencies, overlapping humanitarian and climate crises, economic constraints, and war, have made every country's journey to #HealthForAll more urgent. Now is the time for leaders to take action to meet their universal health coverage commitments and for civil society to hold leaders accountable.
