The core idea of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is that everyone, regardless of their location or economic status, should have access to quality healthcare without facing financial burdens.
On December 12, 2012, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution urging nations to accelerate their efforts towards achieving universal healthcare (UHC).
In 2017, the United Nations officially declared this day.
The theme for 2023 is Health for All: Time for action.
