With the rapid rise of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) including neurological conditions and mental health, the aging of the population, the growing recognition of climate-related health conditions, and the continued threat of infectious diseases, using the UHC lens is the best chance the world has to create resilient and sustainable health systems.
We believe that there is no trade-off between UHC and fighting diseases and that policies, targets, and indicators can be designed to capture both aspects and make the impact of UHC on economies, people, and the planet visible to all stakeholders including Ministries of Finance.
