7 April is World Health Day

april 6, 2018
For this year’s World Health Day the WHO has chosen the theme ‘Universal Health coverage: everyone, everywhere’. With that theme the WHO in its 70th anniversary year is calling on world leaders to live up to the pledges they made when they agreed the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 and its Health Goal, which aims to “Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages”. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is about ensuring all people can get quality health services, where and when they need them, without suffering financial hardship. The WHO brings you a series of blogs by partners and members discussing key issues in ensuring that eye health services are equitable and are available to all who need them. (Eye) Health for all!
