The roadmap to UHC for eye health through Integrated People Centred Eye Care

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means that all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. UHC is a global priority for the WHO, and the linchpin of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve UHC at a country-level, health systems around the world are adopting an integrated and people-centred approach to health services. This means putting the comprehensive needs of people and communities, not only diseases, at the centre of health systems, and empowering people to have a more active role in their own health.
