Abstract :
The right to health is a fundamental human right [1,2]. Universal health coverage (UHC) is a central strategy to achieving that right. UHC has three dimensions: coverage for all people; coverage with all essential services, prevention, promotion, treatment and rehabilitation services; and financial risk protection so service users are not exposed to financial hardship. Progressing towards UHC requires a country to have a strong, efficient, well-staffed and affordable health system accessible to all. Attainment of UHC poses additional challenges in countries affected by humanitarian crises and emergencies.
