8. GOALS:
To improve understanding of universal health
coverage and the importance of primary health care
as its foundation.
To spur action from individuals, policy-makers and
health-care workers to make universal health care a
reality for everyone.

9. BACKGROUND
• At least half of the people in the world do not receive the health
services they need.
• About 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty each year
because of out-of-pocket spending on health.
• To get a better picture of who is missing out, we need data that is
broken down by gender, age, income, location, education and other
factors that affect access to health services.
• Health is a human right; everyone should have the information and
services they need to take care of their own health and the health of
their families.

10. UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE
• Universal health coverage (UHC) is about ensuring all people and
communities have access to quality health services ,where and when
they need them, without financial hardships.
• It includes the full spectrum of services needed throughout life—
from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and
palliative care
• The countries should develop UHC based on 5 attributes:quality,
efficiency, equity, accountability, sustainability and resilience.
• Achieving UHC is one of the key targets of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development.
• It is based on a strong primary health care system.

12. Why universal health coverage and primary
health care?
Primary health care is a whole-of-society approach to health and
wellbeing centred on the needs and preferences of individuals, families and
communities.
 To make health for all a reality, governments need to invest in quality,
accessible primary health care.
 Health workers need to care and advocate for patients and educate them
on how to get and stay healthy.
 Individuals and communities need to be empowered to take care of their
own health.
 Health is a human right. Together, we can make health for all a reality. UHC
is possible.

15. UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE INDIA

23. WHO uses 16 essential health services in 4 categories
as indicators of the level and equity of coverage in
countries:
1. Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health:
2. Non communicable diseases
3. Infectious diseases
4. Service capacity and access

30. • Key facts:
• At least half of the world’s population still do not have full coverage of
essential health services.
• About 100 million people are still being pushed into extreme poverty
(defined as living on 1.90 USD or less a day) because they have to pay for
health care.
• Over 800 million people (almost 12% of the world’s population) spent at
least 10% of their household budgets to pay for health care.
• All UN Member States have agreed to try to achieve universal health
coverage (UHC) by 2030, as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.
