South Africa (SA) joined countries around the world in marking Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, a global campaign led by UHC2030 with support from the World Health Organisation, World Bank, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, aimed at ensuring healthcare is accessible and affordable for all.
This year’s theme, “Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it!”, highlights growing concerns about rising healthcare expenses worldwide.
In SA, the push toward universal care through the National Health Insurance (NHI) system is encountering legal challenges, raising questions over how quickly the country can realise its UHC objectives.
