Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is a healthcare system that ensures all individuals and communities receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. It encompasses access to essential health services, including prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care. UHC aims to provide equitable healthcare access to every person regardless of their socioeconomic status, residence, or health conditions. The concept is rooted in the belief that healthcare is a fundamental human right and seeks to eliminate barriers to healthcare services, such as cost, availability, and quality.
