On 21 September 2023, the UN Member States officially approved the 2023 Political Declaration on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Organized under the theme of “Universal Health Coverage: expanding our ambition for health and well-being in a post-COVID world”, the 2023 high-level meeting on UHC provided countries and stakeholders an opportunity to reinvigorate progress towards delivering health for all.
The Political Declaration on UHC was formally adopted by the UN General Assembly on 05 October 2023 (available in: English, Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish and Chinese). Following the UHC HLM, the Civil Society Engagement Mechanism (CSEM) for UHC2030, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and the Global Health Council (GHC) convened civil society advocates and other stakeholders committed to advancing UHC for a post-HLM debrief and strategy session - in person (22 September) and online (29 September).
The sessions aimed to not only reflect on the HLM outcomes, but to discuss the way forward and how advocates will work together sustain the global political momentum, drive the implementation of UHC commitments, and hold leaders accountable.
Throught this survey, we are welcoming more feedback from civil society orgnizations to coordinate our advocacy plan.
Let’s keep rallying to call for world leaders to commit and ACT to achieve #UHC!
