Momentum toward universal health coverage (UHC) has resulted in a growing global community of policymakers, practitioners, researchers and other international development partners who promote and support health coverage reforms in low and middle income countries. UHC Forward is a comprehensive platform that aggregates information about UHC to accelerate the successful implementation of reforms globally.
UHC Forward consolidates information from hundreds of sources into a one-stop portal. We hope that visitors will be able to stay informed of health coverage efforts in countries around the world, explore key issues and policy debates related to universal health coverage, exchange ideas with others by submitting blogs or articles, and find links to additional resources to support their own efforts.
UHC Forward offers:
- Headlines from around the globe, so that you can stay current on the latest news related to UHC
- A rich database that provides detailed comparative information on the health financing reforms of countries pursuing UHC
- A UHC Forward Blog, with commentary from global thought leaders and practitioners, and synopses of major events and publications
