      Universal Health Coverage Day is an opportunity for all of us to stand up for #HealthForAll. It’s a political choice that I urge countries to make. We can all do our part to make change possible.

      Universal Health Coverage is an ethical issue. Do we want our fellow citizens to die just because they are poor? The answer is NO. No one should get sick and die because they can’t afford the care or medicines they need. #HealthForAll

          Universal health coverage is my top priority, and is central to WHO’s mandate. #HealthForAll is a smart investment. The road to UHC will be different for different countries, but we can get there.

          Retweet if you agree: Health is a human right. People should never have to choose between getting the care they need and financial hardship or impoverishment. It’s time for #HealthForAll!

          The most robust health systems are those built on the principle of universal health coverage, with everyone on the same, equitable footing. #HealthForAll

          And it’s an ethical choice to invest in preventing disease from occurring, investing promoting wellbeing. That’s also an economical choice #Pivot2Prevention #BeatNCDs #AlcoholPrevention #UHCday
