On the 30th anniversary of #WPAY, let’s reaffirm:
✅ Every young person, everywhere, has the right to health
✅ Even in times of crisis, access to essential health services must be guaranteed
✅ Investing in #UHC protects the next generation and builds peace
#HealthForAll makes us #BetterTogether

UHC2030 @uhc2030.bsky.social · 15d

This year marks 30 years of the World Programme of Action for Youth. Yet too many young people still face barriers to health care due to conflict, poverty or discrimination. #UHC is their right.

Health must never be a privilege. It is a foundation for dignity, resilience, and peace. #WPAY

Text-based visual with the following definition: Universal health coverage: All people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. Invest in health. Invest in sustainable development. UHC2030

At the #HLM4 on #NCDs, we’re urging leaders to:

✅ Expand national health benefit packages
✅ Dismantle disease silos
✅ Engage people living with or at risk of NCDs in health governance

It’s time to make #HealthForAll a reality for everyone, everywhere.

#NCDs cause 41 million deaths each year, with the poorest and most vulnerable bearing the heaviest burden. With the #HLM4 on #NCDs taking place today, we urge leaders to invest in #UHC to shield families from cycles of debt, poverty and chronic illness.
