More than 1/2 the world’s population still can't get essential health services. Too often, people miss out on medication or treatment because they can’t afford to pay, making our communities poorer and sicker.
This #UHCDay, let’s urge leaders to make #UHC a national priority.
When people delay care due to unaffordable #HealthCosts, they risk longer-term or more serious illness. People are less productive, and demand for long-term care or welfare support goes up.
On #UHCDay, leaders must guarantee the right to health for everyone!
