Improved access to quality essential health services irrespective of gender, age or disability status
Strengthening health and community systems towards universal health coverage, prioritizing primary health care amid COVID-19 challenges.
Together with Member States, we aim to strengthen health and community systems to progress towards achieving universal health coverage, whereby all people and communities have access to the full range of essential services across the life course through a strong and resilient, people-centred health system, without suffering from financial hardship.
On this journey, we prioritize primary health care as the entry point to universal health coverage. WHO’s focus is on accelerating progress through global leadership, the production of global public health goods, providing differentiated support to countries and ensuring that no one is left behind.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the reality that many health systems are not adequately equipped or organized to protect the health of populations and is demonstrating the results of years of disinvestment or underinvestment in primary health care-oriented health systems
