2019 is a big year for the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Movement with the first High-Level meeting on UHC scheduled during the UN General Assembly in September. We know healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We also know that when you provide girls and women with access to healthcare throughout their lives – including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) – they will deliver a healthier and wealthier world. Now we need greater political will and increased investments to make UHC a reality.
From strengthening health systems and building the capacity of frontline health workers to implementing activities integrating SRH and UHC, Deliver for Good Partners and Allies explore stories and solutions for driving progress toward universal health coverage and #Health4All girls and women.
Join the Deliver for Good Campaign and put girls and women at the center of development. And don't forget to visit the new Deliver for Good website for the latest and greatest resources to help you advocate more effectively for girls and women!
