On this World Health Day 2023, let's take a moment to reflect on the work that still needs to be done towards achieving universal health coverage. Access to quality healthcare is a basic human right that should be available to everyone, regardless of their income or where they live.
While some wealthy countries have implemented systems that ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare, the reality is that even in these countries, access to healthcare is not always evident. High costs, long wait times, and unequal access to services are just a few of the barriers that prevent people from accessing the care they need.
In lower-income countries, progress has been made towards achieving universal healthcare, but there is still a long way to go. Many people lack access to even the most basic healthcare services, and this contributes to high rates of preventable illness and death.
Let's use this World Health Day to recommit ourselves to working towards a future where everyone, everywhere, has access to the care they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives. This means advocating for policies and systems that prioritize access to healthcare, regardless of income or social status. It also means investing in the healthcare workforce and infrastructure needed to deliver quality care to all.
