universal health coverage (UHC) is the first meeting on this topic at the UN and will be the most significant political meeting held on UHC to date.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”INTRODUCTION” _builder_version=”3.19.7″ title=”INTRODUCTION”]<\/p>\n \nUHC means that all people and communities receive the quality health services they need, without financial hardship.\u00a0 Key barriers to UHC achievement include poor infrastructures and availability of basic amenities, out of pocket payments and catastrophic expenditures, shortages and maldistribution of qualified health workers, prohibitively expensive good quality medicines and medical products, low access to digital health and innovative technologies, among others.<\/p>\n Each of these barriers has solutions that not only lead to UHC but also boost the economy and have an important impact on other SDGs. For example, Goal 1 (end poverty), Goal 4 (quality education), Goal 5 (gender equality), Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth), Goal 9 (infrastructure), Goal 10 (reduce inequality), Goal 16 (justice and peace), and Goal 17 (partnerships).\u00a0 UHC is a catalyst for socio-economic development and a key contributor to equity, social justice and inclusive economic growth.\u00a0 UHC delivers on the human right to health as well as the broader human rights agenda.<\/p>\n Primary health care (PHC) is the foundation for UHC. \u00a0PHC oriented health systems provide quality services that are comprehensive, continuous, coordinated and people-centered. With these characteristics along with its emphasis on prevention and promotion, PHC reduces inequities in health, and is highly effective and efficient, particularly for the management of chronic conditions such as non-communicable diseases, including mental health.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”OBJECTIVE” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ title=”OBJECTIVE”

For example, Goal 1 (end poverty), Goal 4 (quality education), Goal 5 (gender equality), Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth), Goal 9 (infrastructure), Goal 10 (reduce inequality), Goal 16 (justice and peace), and Goal 17 (partnerships).\u00a0 UHC is a catalyst for socio-economic development and a key contributor to equity, social justice and inclusive economic growth.\u00a0 UHC delivers on the human right to health as well as the broader human rights agenda.<\/p> Primary health care (PHC) is the foundation for UHC. \u00a0PHC oriented health systems provide quality services that are comprehensive, continuous, coordinated and people-centered. With these characteristics along with its emphasis on prevention and promotion, PHC reduces inequities in health, and is highly effective and efficient, particularly for the management of chronic conditions such as non-communicable diseases, including mental health.<\/p> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p> [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"OBJECTIVE\" _builder_version=\"3.19.7\" title=\"OBJECTIVE\"]<\/p> The purpose of the Hearing is to benefit from the perspectives of all stakeholders, on urgent actions and investments for UHC, and to provide a key opportunity to identify how the UHC political declaration (i.e. outcome document of UN HLM) can add value to the current UHC movement and set a concrete milestone to accelerate progress towards achievement of UHC by 2030.<\/p> [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.19.7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/73\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/03\/UHC-HLM_simple-version.jpg\" \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.19.7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/73\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/03\/Capture1.png\" \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"AUDIENCE\" _builder_version=\"3.19.7\" title=\"AUDIENCE\"]<\/p> The Hearing will bring together representatives of the Member States, observers of the General Assembly, parliamentarians, representative of local government, relevant UN entities, civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, academia, professional associations and the private sector and broader communities.
