Universal Health Coverage Day

12 December

The 2025 UHC Day campaign theme is: Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it! 

More than half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services. And a quarter of them face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets, often at the expense of food, education or housing.

The 2025 campaign theme focuses on the lived experience behind these statistics, reminding government decision-makers that unaffordable health costs are making our communities poorer and sicker and holding us back on all of the Sustainable Development Goals.
