To achieve #HealthForAll, we need to know how many people are not receiving the healthcare they need & how many more face financial hardship because of having to pay for it.

WHO & @WorldBank will launch the 2023 Universal Health Coverage Global Monitoring Report today at 2PM EDT. Watch it here: https://t.co/1jIy6qASo8

Global spending on health reached US$ 9 trillion in 2020, or 10.8% of GDP, but remains highly unequal across income groups.

Great presentation @asoucat on “Building the Reset in Health System Recovery”! Key ingredients of success: readiness, #EPHF, governance and trust! None depends on ‘Good Luck’ but: proper planning, good implementation & adequate investment in #CGH!

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

No one should face financial, geographical and cultural barriers that prevent access to testing or treatment for #COVID19.

Important letter signed by @mfespinosaEC from the @UHC2030 political advisory panel. #LeaveNoOneBehind.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

"Several countries are suspending user fees & providing free testing and care for #COVID19, regardless of a person’s insurance, citizenship, or residence status.

We encourage these measures. This is in an unprecedented crisis, which demands an unprecedented response"-@DrTedros

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

"3⃣ we call on all countries to remove financial barriers to care.

If people delay or forego care because they can’t afford it, they not only harm themselves, they make the #COVID19 pandemic harder to control and put society at risk"-@DrTedros #coronavirus

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

"2⃣ we also call on countries and partners to strengthen the foundations of health systems. That means #healthworkers must be paid their salaries, and health facilities need a reliable supply of funding to purchase essential medical supplies"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #coronavirus

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

"There are 3 main areas for countries to focus on.

1⃣we call on all countries to ensure core public health measures are fully funded, including case-finding, testing, contact tracing, collecting data, and communication and information campaigns"-@DrTedros #COVID19 #coronavirus

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Asking people to stay at home and other physical distancing measures are an important way of slowing down the spread of the virus and buying time – but they are defensive measures. You can't win a football game only by defending. You have to attack as well.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

To win, we need to attack the virus with aggressive and targeted tactics – testing every suspected case, isolating and caring for every confirmed case, and tracing and quarantining every close contact.

[Dr Agnes Soucat @asoucat]

Social health insurance exists in 126 countries with huge variation from less than 5% to more than half of national health spending channeled through social health insurance. #UHC #UHCDay2019

[Dr Agnes Soucat @asoucat]

Donor funding represents 0.2 % of health spending globally and declining in recent years.

36% of aid went to middle income countries experiencing fast economic growth. #UHC

[Dr Agnes Soucat @asoucat]

Public spending increased faster than out-of-pocket spending, as a result the share of out-of-pocket spending declined over time. #UHC

https://t.co/pDFvxk5Lk3

[Dr Agnes Soucat @asoucat]

Middle income countries are rapidly converging towards higher levels of spending. In those countries, health spending rose 6.3% a year between 2000 and 2017 while the economy rose by 5.9% a year. And out-of pocket spending has increased rapidly
