This new report from EPHA makes the case for prioritising Universal Health Coverage (UHC) within the emerging frameworks for the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, suggesting a series of actions to ensure meaningful implementation of the EPSR and the health SDG goals.
UHC is a core marker of inequality of Europe. Affecting vulnerable and marginalised groups, as well as particular geographical regions, disproportionately, it reflects the broader health and socio-economic inequalities that exist between and within member states. This makes UHC both an important indicator
of, and a valuable lever to fight inequality and realise the objectives of both the EPSR and Agenda 2030.
