The statement was titled: \u201cAdvocating for Universal Health Coverage: For Health Equity\u201d Mwakasungula reaffirmed her organization\u2019s commitment to the idea that health is a human right, not a privilege.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUHC means that every person, in every corner of the world, should have access to quality healthcare services without the fear of financial ruin. As advocates for health, we understand that UHC is not just a goal; it\u2019s a moral imperative. It\u2019s about ensuring that vulnerable communities, including women, girls, the elderly, and marginalized populations, have equal access to the care they need. It\u2019s about leaving no one behind,\u201d reads part of the statement.<\/p>\n<p>She called upon the stakeholders in the health sectors to work together to strengthen health systems, improve healthcare infrastructure, and promote equitable access to healthcare services. She stressed that this is the only way the stakeholders can make a difference in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy doing so, we can make significant progress towards achieving UHC and creating a healthier, more just world for all. And on this day, let us redouble our efforts to advocate for policies and investments that prioritize health for everyone, everywhere. Together, we can make Universal Health Coverage a reality and contribute to a brighter, healthier future for all,\u201d concluded Mwakasungula.<\/p>\n<p>WOCACA is a registered cancer organization founded by women and girls who have been directly or indirectly affected by cancer.
