International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day) was observed throughout the world. It aims to mobilize diverse stakeholders to call for stronger, more equitable health systems to achieve universal health coverage, leaving no one behind. The theme for the 2018 UHC Day is: "Unite for Universal Health Coverage: Now is the Time for Collective Action". Universal health coverage (UHC) ensures all people, everywhere, can access the quality health services they need without suffering financial hardship. The United Nations proclaimed 12 December as International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day) by resolution 72/138 in 2017.
