WHO: Universal Health Coverage - What does it mean?

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) aims to ensure everyone receives the quality services they need, and is protected from health threats, without suffering financial hardship. It's a way of reducing poverty and increasing health security, so that no-one is left behind. This video message in support of UHC was recorded by WHO Director-General Margaret Chan for UHC Day 2015.

That was kind of vague and confusing.

Sharing, Justice and Peace for all.

Thank you for the brief and insightful video, indeed it's of paramount importance for everyone to receive quality health services without suffering financial hardship. Together we can achieve this goal by 2030.

I have a dear friend whose father is eighty years old. Her mother had been taking care of him by herself for years and can't do it anymore. They have gone to Medicaid, Medicare, and various social services and have been told he doesn't qualify. He is on Social Security and his income is too high, She is dead set AGAINST Universal Healthcare and then complains because her parents can't get the help they need.

[@asiimweabel]

Well explained. Thank you

[@AmGirl-lf5xh]

The challenge is implementing UHC .

[@dennyjoseph5952]

Yesterday We have hold UHC Day celiberites in Naypyitaw in Myanmar.

[@rollthelosingdice]

Sounds like Brave New World.

[@prakashkotecha7261]

Nice explanation. Needs real efforts. United Nations adopted Human Rights first time in 1945 and Health was not included. In 1948 it was included as far as I know. Health remains a low priority practically despite everyone acknowledging its importance.

UNITED NATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL HEALTH COVERAGE DAY ON DECEMBER 12. UN CHIEF ANTONIO GUTERRES HAS SAID: A WORLD WITH HEALTH FOR ALL.

[@cjyrkas]

Sounds great! But how is this going to happen? Who’s going to pay for it? How much will it cost the middle class? All the important questions unanswered as always. Thanks WHO 😡

[@theyoutubeguy1]

I guess you are American lol, most countries already have this system.

[@laurenanderson7330]

Americans spend around 7000 GBP on healthcare per year; Brits spend around 2700 a year. What sounds better?

[@abdulatif100]

Thanks, nice display. but its one among the biggest challenge especially who will pay for it.

[@alyx6427]

abdul-latif Haji usually it’s paid for through taxes, and as long as everyone who can is paying taxes, it’s a tiny fraction of your monthly income.

[@smurfaka]

would be paid for by everyone, for everyone

[@sammyweredaniel4209]

No body can deny such opportunity. the first recommendor is the very poor to have this concept in place

[@magdimate1353]

We need global health insurance because sometimes children with cancer cannot get treatment in their own country and they are asking for a lot of money over the internet.

[@hlboerr]

did she say "the wrong decision"????

[@rubakannan3749]

Very good plan.All need to clab there hands

[@michaelmccaffrey2731]

[@johncaze757]

[@DougGrinbergs]

America desperately needs, deserves single-payer, Medicare-for-All! Slogan: Healthcare where and when you need, Uncle Sam pays the bills! If only UN/WHO could shame majority of House, Senate and White House to make it so…

[@AgentSmith911]

Private health insurance gives all this, and more.

[@reddot_22]

Except if you are old, have a pre existent conditions etc. What a joke.

[@smurfaka]

Sure, for the ones who can pay. This isn't aimed at rich westerners
