International Universal Health Coverage Day 2023: The United Nations established International Universal Health Coverage Day as a global celebration on December 12. The purpose of the holiday is to encourage universal access to high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare. It should be everyone’s basic human right to have access to reasonably priced medical care. The U.N. is requesting a change because this is not the situation at the moment.

The background of the International Day of Health Coverage

For a very long time, the United Nations has made it their mission to speak up for people who are frequently ignored or lack a voice. International Universal Health Coverage Day advocates for universal access to affordable healthcare. The purpose of this holiday is to promote the notion that everyone has the right to healthcare. Since access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, it is a call for all nations to support their citizens equally and to leave no one behind.

Declared a holiday in 2017, December 12 is the day it is observed every year. The World Bank Group, Oxfam, Save the Children, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the World Health Organization (WHO) are their partners. The UN is working on several initiatives to promote human rights, this being just one of them.

In 2015, universal health coverage was added to the list of Sustainable Development Goals. A “more sustainable future for all” is one of the 17 objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals. These objectives were established in 2015 to accomplish them by 2030. Reduced inequality, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace, justice, and strong institutions, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, and partnerships for the goals are among them.

Methods For Marking The World Universal Health Coverage Day

Increase consciousness

Organize events to increase awareness of this issue in the community and in the schools. To show people how serious the issue is, make pamphlets and distribute global data.

Five things you should know about healthcare

Brazil does not practice discrimination.

Only in Brazil can anybody, from any nationality or ethnicity, get immediate access to free healthcare that covers all medical needs.

Numerous nations have already adopted this practice.

There are 43 countries with free or universal healthcare, the majority of which are in Europe, so no one can argue it cannot be done. Many of these nations have affordable or free healthcare systems.

The US has more expensive healthcare taxes.

Even though the United States does not have universal healthcare, it does have the highest healthcare taxes and costs globally.

Less Americans visit doctors.

The percentage of adults in the United States who go a year without seeing a doctor decreased from 38% to 46% in just two years, according to statistics, indicating that people are seeing their primary care physicians less and less.

Numerous people are dying.

Five million people die each year from poor-quality healthcare, and an estimated 3.6 million people die from a lack of access to healthcare.

The significance of This Day

It’s a worldwide problem.

The issue of universal healthcare affects all people. You may be unfortunate enough to have to pay exorbitant amounts of money for medical care when traveling abroad, even if your home country offers universal healthcare.

It’s not only about the price.

Although the first thing that springs to mind when we think of healthcare is cost, for some people this isn’t the only concern. Obtaining basics like food, clean water, and vaccines is a challenge for many developing nations as well as those engaged in conflict. As a result, these neglected nations still experience readily treatable ailments.

It increases consciousness.

By promoting this day, we can increase public awareness of the problem and motivate people to make larger donations to aid developing nations.
