World Bank: COVID-19, Universal Health Coverage in Times of Crisis - XX
"Worldwide, we are all watching and experiencing the extraordinarily tough and at times, horrific impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus). We can see multiple effects on the lives, livelihoods, and wellbeing of people and communities, on health systems and services, and on economies."
With the crisis expected to deepen before it improves, there are some foundational issues relating to health systems and people's access to health services that, from our position as co-chairs of the International Partnership for Universal Health -Coverage 2030 (UHC2030), we want to highlight.
UHC2030 is the global movement to build stronger health systems in order to achieve universal health coverage (UHC). Right now1 health systems and UHC are what will make the difference to each country's response to COVID-19. - They affect whether all or only some receive treatment, as well as rates of recovery and the level of protection afforded to health workers.
UHC and health emergencies The pandemic brings into sharp focus two core truths. First, the premise of UHC - to ensure health for all without causing financial hardship - is absolutely fundamental to make sure that everyone, no matter who they are or where they live, has access to the free-of-charge testing - and treatment they need for COVID-19. Second, strong health systems are crucial in order to respond to health crises."
