IFPA's resources for universal health coverageBecause health is a human right
Advocacy toolkit for universal health coverage
12 December 2019
By IFPA
The first High-level meeting on universal health coverage (UHC) was held on 23 September 2019 during the General Assembly of the United Nations, where United Nation’s Member States unanimously approved the political declaration on UHC.
The political declaration on UHC can be used to advocate for psoriatic disease as UHC is a broad concept comprehensive of multiple issues related to psoriatic disease:
- Noncommunicable diseases
- Mental health
- Disabilities
- Primary care
- Financial hardship
- Access to medicines
- Health workforce
The political declaration on UHC is a precious new tool at our disposal and can be used together with the WHO Resolution on Psoriasis and the WHO Global report on Psoriasis to advocate for improving the lives of people living with psoriatic disease worldwide.
