UHC Day 2025 Theme : “Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it!”
More than half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services. And a quarter of them face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets, often at the expense of food, education or housing.
The 2025 campaign theme, “Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it!”, focuses on the lived experience behind these statistics, reminding government decision-makers that unaffordable health costs are making our communities poorer and sicker and holding us back on all of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Universal Health Coverage Day 2025 shines a spotlight on the devastating human impact of unaffordable health costs.
Despite numerous high-level political commitments to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030, more than half of the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services. One in four people face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets-often at the expense of basic needs such as food, education or housing.
Health for all is a prerequisite for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Healthier populations foster communities that are more resilient, productive, peaceful and prosperous. When people delay or forgo health care due to costs, they risk worsening health outcomes and longer-term health and financial burden. Conversely, when governments prioritize to ensure people have access to affordable health care, they lay the groundwork for sustainable progress across all sectors.
On UHC Day, WHO calls for urgent action to implement financial protection measures and eliminate out-of-pocket health costs for those most in need--including people with low incomes or chronic conditions.
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which sets out 17 wide-ranging and interconnected goals for a greener, healthier, more peaceful and equal planet by the year 2030.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages. Within this health goal, target 3.8 is specifically to “Achieve UHC, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all”. But SDG 3 is also cross-cutting, meaning that progress towards health and well-being contributes to progress towards other SDGs, and action on other SDGs in turn contributes to attaining Goal 3.
