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!

Happy #UHCDay!

[Saidu Ibrahim Bangura @Saidu_Moneyman]

No one regardless of their backgrounds.

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

No one should have to delay health care because they can’t afford it.

But #UHC is not just good for people, it is a smart financial investment for countries. When leaders #InvestInHealth, they lay the groundwork for sustainable progress across all sectors.

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

Everyone should be able to get the medicines they need for their family without facing financial hardship. #UniversalHealthCoverage protects people from financial ruin and upholds their right to health.

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

In most countries, paying for medicines accounts for more than half of out-of-pocket health spending. This means many people miss out on treatment because they can’t afford it.

And you don’t have to take it from us.

Here are a couple of testimonials from our new ACT for UHC report, launching on #UHCDay tomorrow:

According to a young woman from the Eastern Mediterranean region, “I was unable to access the treatment and health services I needed primarily due to financial constraints.”

And a father from the Africa region resorts to purchasing roadside medications when his children fall ill at the “wrong” time of the month, and mentioned having to delay care for his son who was diagnosed with a hernia until his pay check came in: “I could not borrow money, and the doctor wouldn’t do it on credit. I was forced to wait.”

Have you ever had to delay or miss out on treatment or medication because of the costs? Share your story in a short video or post using #HealthCostsHurt.

And visit https://t.co/1REuGZXWMf for ready-made messages and visuals to let your leaders know that we're sick of unaffordable health costs !

[World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific @WHOWPRO]

🚨 #UHC check-in! The goal of universal health coverage is simple: essential, quality health care for everyone, without financial hardship.

But are we there yet? Monitoring financial hardship is key!

I am a UHC Day champion for UHC Day 2025! Join me in spreading the word this year! Together we can build a world where no one is pushed into poverty trying to access health care.

On #WorldAIDSDay 2025, I engaged the public on SLBC with highlights that 81,000 people in Sierra Leone are living with HIV, and 22,000+ are still not on treatment. With global funding cuts, risks are rising. We must #RethinkRebuildRise. Choose protection. Choose compassion.
