International Universal Health Coverage Day 2023
Health For All: Time for Action
You’re Invited: Join the UHC Day Virtual Town Hall with Parliamentarians!
To kick off this year’s UHC Day, please join us for the UHC Day 2023 Virtual Town Hall on Monday 11 December, 2:00 – 3:30 pm CET / 8:00 – 9:30 am ET.
This event will convene members of parliament, youth advocates, and UHC campaigners in a virtual, 90-minute session titled, Shaping Our Health Future: Young Leaders and Parliamentarians Unite for UHC. You can register here.
The event will explore the critical importance of action on UHC in the wake of this year’s United Nations High-Level Meeting on UHC, during which global leaders reaffirmed their commitments to achieving #HealthforAll. Participants will have the opportunity to pose questions to a panel of parliamentarians from around the world about UHC reforms and hear their perspectives on what is needed to drive action toward UHC in every country.
The event will also feature an advocacy activation focused on this year’s UHC Day letter-writing campaign. A short letter-writing workshop will take place at the end of the session for guidance on how to prepare and send UHC advocacy letters to decision-makers.
This event will be available in English, Spanish, French, and International Sign Language (ISL).
The UHC Day 2023 theme is Health for All: Time for Action.
Now that the global community has renewed its commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) for all worldwide, it’s time for immediate and tangible steps that get progress back on track. Let’s urge our leaders to enact policies that guarantee equitable access to essential health services without financial hardship and that ensure good health and well-being is not a privilege for a few but a right for all.
This year’s theme also reminds us that, in a world that continues to experience a growing number of climate-related health threats, countries must invest in resilient and equitable health systems with primary health care as the foundation. By working across sectors – with governments, the private sector, NGOs and civil society – we can hold our leaders accountable and make universal health coverage a reality by 2030.
