Achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) stands as a primary objective set forth by nations worldwide when they adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. At the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on UHC in 2019, countries reiterated that health serves as both a precondition for and an indicator of the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. The World Health Organisation's 13th General Programme of Work aims to extend UHC benefits to an additional one billion people by 2025, concurrently advancing the goal of ensuring improved health and well-being for all.
