2025 Universal Health Coverage Day campaign.

 


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 Universal Health Coverage Day 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.




Unaffordable health costs; we are sick of it



Delaying care because its too expensive?



Having to choose between health and other basic needs; We're sick of it!



Not being able to afford essential medicines; We're sick of it!

People living with diabetes are two to four times more likely to die from heart disease and CVD  is the leading cause of death for people with kidney disease. Moreover, due to their chronic nature and high cost of specialized care often needed to manage them, circulatory diseases contribute significantly to driving individuals and households into poverty when they need to pay for such services out...

  Plus de la moitié de la population mondiale n'a toujours pas accès aux services de santé essentiels. Un quart d'entre eux rencontrent des difficultés financières pour payer leurs soins de santé de leur poche, souvent au détriment de l'alimentation, de l'éducation ou du logement. Le thème de la campagne de la Journée de la couverture sanitaire universelle 2025, « Des soins de santé inabordables?; Nous en avons assez! », met l'accent sur le vécu de ces personnes, rappelant aux décideurs politiques que le coût exorbitant des soins de santé appauvrit et fragilise nos communautés et nous empêche d'atteindre tous les Objectifs de développement durable. Retarder des soins parce qu'ils sont trop chers ? Devoir choisir entre la santé et d'autres besoins fondamentaux. Ne pas pouvoir se permettre des médicaments essentiels.
