Universal Health Coverage: what it means for anaemia reduction programmes
Last month, world leaders adopted a high-level United Nations Political Declaration on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). It is the most comprehensive set of health commitments ever adopted at this level.
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means that all people can use the health care they need without the risk of financial hardship and with the right quality to be effective, from preventive to palliative services.
What does this mean for anaemia, and is UHC attainable in anaemia reduction programmes?
This webinar will explore this topic through a discussion with Dr Ellen Piwoz, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Dr. Rebecca A. Heidkamp, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
We need to be well-equipped to join the UHC conversation at the national and global levels to advocate for anaemia reduction programmes.
