Universal Health Coverage is achieved by ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status or geographical location, have access to essential health services, medications, and treatments without facing financial hardship. This involves robust health systems, equitable distribution of resources, and policies that prioritize preventive care, primary healthcare, and addressing the social determinants of health, resulting in improved well-being and reduced health disparities across populations.

Universal Health Coverage is crucial as it ensures that everyone can access essential health services without financial barriers. This leads to improved health outcomes, reduces inequalities, and creates a healthier, more equitable society where individuals can receive the care they need without fear of financial hardship.

Universal Health Coverage Day, celebrated on December 12, is a global awareness initiative advocating accessible and affordable healthcare for all. It emphasizes the importance of providing essential medical services, medications, and treatments to everyone, ensuring improved health outcomes and reduced inequalities in healthcare access.
