WHO: Universal Health Coverage - What does it mean?
00:01
you might have heard people talking
about universal health coverage but what
does it really mean? Think about it this
way. What do you need to get be and stay
healthy. can you get help from a well
trained health worker? can you get
treatment that helps you get better? and
is safe can you get the medicines and
other health products you need? who will
pay for it? are there policies in place
to ensure the services you need are
available to you your family and your
community next time and every time. and
does your government have accurate
information about the whole system so
they can make the right decisions to
keep everything working the way it
should. good health needs people, services
products, finances, policies and
information and it needs all of them to
work together even in times of crisis
and good health systems don't just treat

sick people, they help to promote healthy
living and prevent people from falling
ill in the first place. The World Health
Organization is working around the world
so that all people and communities
receive the quality services they need
and are protected from health threats
without suffering from financial
hardship that's what we call universal
health coverage
so here's to health for you and for everyone
