IPCHS. Integrated People-Centred Health Services

Events

 

On Monday 18 September from 4:30-6:00 pm, UHC2030– together with the Government of Japan, the World Health Organization, World Bank Group, UNICEF, United Nations Development Programme and The Rockefeller Foundation– will hold a high-level event on universal health coverage (UHC) timed to the United Nations General Assembly. 

Momentum for universal health coverage is at an all-time high, with growing consensus that UHC is a prerequisite for poverty eradication and shared prosperity, and strong endorsements from global leaders including the new Director-General of the World Health Organization.

This event will look at how UHC is essential to achieving health and well-being for all (SDG 3), how UHC helps achieve broader development goals, and how diverse partners are driving continued progress – including advocating for strong primary health care systems.

Key themes of this event are:

1.  Highlighting the importance of UHC as the core driver to achieve the SDGs and goal 3;

2.  Sharing leaders visions for achieving UHC to be embodied at the UHC Forum 2017; and

3.  Raising awareness on research and development as a pivotal element for achieving UHC.
