SPHIP Support Team - All roads lead to universal health coverage

All roads lead to universal health coverage—and this is our top priority at WHO. For me, the key question of universal health coverage is an ethical one. Do we want our fellow citizens to die because they are poor? Or millions of families impoverished by catastrophic health expenditures because they lack nancial risk protection? Universal health coverage is a human right. 

A call from the new Director General of the WHO,
