The CBC Health Services joins the rest of the world to commemorate the International Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day) on December 12, 2019 with the aim to mobilize diverse stakeholders to call for stronger, more equitable health systems to achieve universal health coverage that leaves no one behind.
Universal Health Coverage has become an annual rallying point for the growing global movement for Health for All.
UHC implies all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.
Following the UN High-Level Meeting on UHC on 23 September 2019, world leaders endorsed the most ambitious and comprehensive political declaration on ensuring UHC throughout nations; this is why the theme for the UHC Day 2019 campaign is: “Keep the Promise”.
To ensure Universal Health Coverage, Primary Health Care (PHC) needs to be strengthened given that it is the foundation.

47% of all people living with HIV are virally suppressed.
Women
Every week, around 7000 young women aged 15–24 years become infected with HIV.
In sub-Saharan Africa, three in four new infections among adolescents aged 15–19 years are in girls. Young women aged 15–24 years are twice as likely to be living with HIV than men.
More than one third (35%) of women around the world have experienced physical and/or s*xual violence at some time in their lives.
In some regions, women who experience violence are one and a half times more likely to become infected with HIV.
Key populations
Key populations and their s*xual partners account for:
47% of new HIV infections globally.
95% of new HIV infections in eastern Europe and central Asia and the Middle East and North Africa.

In 2016, 10.4 million people developed TB disease, 1.2 million were living with HIV.
People living with HIV with no TB symptoms need TB preventative therapy, which lessens the risk of developing TB and reduces TB/HIV death rates by around 40%.
It is estimated that 49% of people living with HIV and tuberculosis are unaware of their coinfection and are therefore not receiving care.
