On 12 December 2012, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed a resolution urging countries to accelerate progress toward universal health coverage (UHC) – the idea that everyone, everywhere should have access to quality, affordable health care - as an essential priority for international development. On 12 December 2017, the United Nations proclaimed 12 December as International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day).
As the world marks another Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, the COVID-19 pandemic is relentlessly magnifying the consequences of neglecting the political, social and economic inequities that divide the world. Health for all—and health systems that protect everyone regardless of race, religion, gender or wealth—is both a human right and a prerequisite to achieving sustainable socio-economic development. Trinity Care Foundation has been supporting Government Primary Health Centers during the Covid19 crisis with Medical Services/Supplies in rural Karnataka, India.
Renewed and stronger political will is needed now, more than ever, to place health equity high on the global agenda and achieve universal health coverage. Building a fairer, healthier world where everyone can get the health care they need, when they need it, without falling into financial hardship, relies on greater investments in primary health care.
Trinity Care Foundation has been actively supporting critical community health since 2007, You can support such public health projects as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative for your company in association with us during the Pandemic.
