    Universal health coverage is ultimately a political choice. It is the responsibility of every country and national government to pursue it

        This is very clear and timely. Given the fact that over 90% of Minister's of Health are Medical Doctors, they need to have better skills of defending their programmes, prioritization and budget during the NEC meetings. There is need to focus on PHC that is still a wish and hope.

        What you say is absolutely true, but how do you defeat EM towers between inhabitants that cause not only serious illnesses but death and who doesn't admit that ?

        Indeed it is a political choice and every country must be encouraged to do so. WHO should channel its support to every country towards helping them achieve UHC @yates_rob

        Like what these two governors @mamangilu and @governorkibwana are doing in their respective counties here in Kenya. #UHC is a choice. A political decision. A right.
