This is what we stand for.

A fairer future means the UK stepping up — backing fair financing and locally led health systems.

For more than 1/4 of the world’s population, access to health care remains an unaffordable dream.

Great to see our member Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN) bringing stakeholders together today to mark #UHCDay and call for affordable, accessible healthcare for all in #Malawi.

Strong health financing is essential to achieving UHC everywhere.

With #UHCDay approaching, sharp aid cuts are leaving millions without essential nutrition services.

Protecting nutrition is protecting universal health — for children, families, and futures.

This #HumanRightsDay, we stand against the erosion of the right to health.

But cuts to UK aid are doing exactly that.

Debt shouldn’t stand in the way of people’s right to health.

Countries facing hunger and malnutrition are being forced to channel billions into debt payments instead of care.
