Health: It’s on the government! On #UHCDay, WONCA calls on leaders to prioritize primary health care (PHC) as the foundation for achieving #UniversalHealthCoverage. Primary health care can meet 90% of essential health needs, providing affordable, inclusive care that ensures no one is left behind. Yet, billions worldwide still face financial hardship when accessing health services. Investing in strong, equitable primary health care systems is the smartest step governments can take to protect communities, foster economic growth, and make #HealthForAll a reality. https://lnkd.in/dq8xYkZW

Today is Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day 2024 At Starcare International Hospital, we join the global call to action for Health for All. This year, the focus is on financial protection, a critical step towards ensuring no one is left behind due to out-of-pocket healthcare costs. With 2 billion people facing financial hardship and 1.3 billion pushed into poverty because of health spending, the need for action is urgent. Healthcare should never be a burden—it should be a right. Why Financial Protection Matters: ✅ Ensures timely access to life-saving care for mothers, children, and families. ✅ Prevents delays in treating noncommunicable diseases, saving lives. ✅ Builds healthier, resilient, and more prosperous communities. Despite global commitments, over half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services. Together, we can change this. Universal Health Coverage will only be possible when governments and healthcare systems invest in protecting the most vulnerable from catastrophic health expenses. At Starcare, we are proud to champion the vision of Health for All through our commitment to delivering affordable, patient-centered care. Let’s stand together to make UHC a reality by 2030. #UHCDay2024 #HealthForAll #StarcareCares #UniversalHealthCoverage #FinancialProtection #EndHealthPoverty #HealthEquity #StarcareHospital #HealthcareForAll #SustainableHealthcare #StrongerCommunities
