Feb 28 2020InitiativeLaunched in 2009, our Transforming Health Systems initiative advanced Universal Health Coverage (UHC), a global movement to provide all people with access to the health services they need without the risk of financial hardship often caused by reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Key successes included the adoption of a UN resolution by more than 90 countries to encourage countries to build health systems that can treat all citizens, regardless of income, location, and gender. This resolution—and our continued advocacy—helped position UHC as a key health component of the Sustainable Development Goals.
