Fifth Meeting of the Technical Advisory Group on Universal Health Coverage in the Western Pacific Region, Virtual meeting, 16-18 November 2021: meeting report

Overview

Universal health coverage (UHC) is a shared long-term agenda that leverages joint political and technical commitment to improving health outcomes. It is key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and provides a foundation to the broader progress of economies and societies towards countries’ prosperity, social cohesion and stability. The journey towards UHC is not straightforward and needs continuous political decisions, but accelerating its progress is central to achieving the vision of making the WHO Western Pacific Region the world’s healthiest and safest.
