International Universal Health Coverage Day aims to raise awareness of the need for strong and resilient healthcare systems and universal health coverage (UHC). Over the last 20 years, financial protection has worsened, with 2 billion people experiencing financial hardship and 1.3 billion people pushed into poverty due to health expenses. This year’s theme of “Health: it’s on the government!” calls on governments to invest in health for all and thus protect people from impoverishing health spending.

World AIDS Day exists to create awareness on the real experiences of people living with HIV today, while celebrating the strength, resilience and diversity of the communities that are most affected. On 1 December, we commemorate World AIDS Day under the theme “Take the rights path: My health, my right!”. This is a call to all global leaders and citizens to advocate for the right to HIV/AIDS healthcare by addressing the inequalities that hinder progress in ending AIDS. Breaking the stigma by sharing information and busting myths about HIV/AIDS will help to create a future where HIV doesn’t stand in the way of anyone’s quality of life. This can be done by visiting your nearest pharmacy or clinic for testing and consultation. Speaking to a healthcare professional about your treatment plan or getting more information on the virus can help clear up any misconceptions/stigma you may have. #AIDSawareness #HIV/AIDS #HIV #worldAIDSday
