As a foundation for UHC, WHO recommends reorienting health
systems using a primary health care (PHC) approach. Achieving UHC is a WHO
strategic priority, with the goal of 1 billion more people benefitting from
universal health coverage by 2025.
In countries with fragile health systems, we focus on technical
assistance to build national institutions and service delivery to fill critical
gaps in emergencies. In more robust health system settings, we drive public
health impact towards health coverage for all through policy dialogue for the
systems of the future and strategic support to improve performance.
This work is supported by normative guidance and agreements;
data, research and innovation; and leadership in the realms of diplomacy,
advocacy, gender equality, health equity and human rights, multisectoral
action, and finance.
