Is Universal Health Coverage an opportunity to end AIDS?
At the United Nations General Assembly in September 2019, a special United Nations High Level Meeting (UNHLM) will be held on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). 193 countries have promised to deliver on UHC by 2030 by committing to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
But will push on UHC alone deliver on the promise of health for all where ‘no one is left behind’? And will UHC complement the efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB), AIDS, malaria and improve outcomes of other disease-specific programmes?
