Type: article

Abstract: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) ensures that all individuals and communities receive essential health services without financial hardship.1 The United Nations’ 2023 high-level meeting reaffirmed the global commitment to UHC, emphasizing national ownership and government responsibility in prioritizing it.2 Achieving UHC is firmly agreed to be an indispensable goal in country health system agendas and policies, and as public health approach for population’s better health outcomes. This vision is unattainable without addressing the unique needs of refugees and migrants.
