Robust health systems are pivotal in advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and achieving health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Numerous international partnerships, alliances, and networks are dedicated to strengthening various aspects of health systems worldwide.
Collaborative Efforts Driving Stronger Health Systems
The collective work of these organizations significantly contributes to building resilient health infrastructures and realizing the goal of universal health coverage. UHC2030 stands as a global movement committed to this mission, serving as a convening platform for health system-related initiatives.
As part of the UHC2030 network, these initiatives are dedicated to promoting the principles outlined in the UHC2030 Global Compact for progress towards UHC. They adopt common approaches to health system strengthening, as detailed in key documents like Healthy Systems for Universal Health Coverage – A Joint Vision for Healthy Lives, the UHC Key Asks, and strategies integrating Health Emergencies within UHC frameworks.
Through UHC2030’s multi-stakeholder platform, these initiatives can foster mutually reinforcing actions among a diverse range of partners. This collaboration enables the sharing of information, resources, and learning opportunities, all aimed at achieving shared objectives in health system strengthening and universal health coverage.
