UHC Day 2016: Humanize the Health System

By Management Sciences for Health

We all have an unprecedented opportunity to make universal health coverage a reality.

As a founding partner of the Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day) Coalition, Management Sciences for Health is joining forces with the global health community and urging everyone to take action toward universal health coverage on December 12.

UHC Day is founded on the idea that no one should go bankrupt when they get sick, that universal health coverage is a smart investment and an achievable goal everywhere, and that it underpins our collective security and prosperity.

MSH is doing our part to make UHC a reality by:

• Helping countries, like Sierra Leone, build better systems for the health of women and children through UHC
• Helping governments figure out how much UHC costs, and how to pay
• Helping countries build medicine benefits into their UHC plans
• Encouraging G20 leaders to focus on epidemic prevention
• Putting family planning at the center of the UHC debate
• Supporting countries’ progress toward access to affordable, essential medicines for all through system-wide interventions

We urge you to take action today by:

• Joining the UHC Day Coalition
• Amplifying UHC Day messages online with hashtags #HealthforAll and #UHCDay

Better systems for health save more lives. Act with ambition. Humanize the health system. #Healthforall!
