UHC Day is One Week Away: Take Action Now!
UHC Day Update #6
UHC Day is rapidly approaching! It’s time for action: we need your voice to tell our leaders to keep their commitments to universal health coverage.
See below for information on our letter-writing campaign, upcoming Town Hall event, and other resources to help you amplify the call for #HealthForAll on 12.12.23.
Register for our UHC Day Virtual Town Hall with Parliamentarians!
To kick off this year’s UHC Day, please join us for the UHC Day 2023 Virtual Town Hall on Monday 11 December, 2:00 - 3:30 pm CET / 8:00 - 9:30 am ET. This event will convene members of parliament, youth advocates, and UHC campaigners in a virtual, 90-minute session titled, Shaping Our Health Future: Young Leaders and Parliamentarians Unite for UHC. You can register here.
The event will explore the critical importance of action on UHC in the wake of this year’s United Nations High-Level Meeting on UHC, during which global leaders reaffirmed their commitments to achieving #HealthforAll. Participants will have the opportunity to pose questions to a panel of parliamentarians from around the world about UHC reforms and hear their perspectives on what is needed to drive action toward UHC in every country.
The event will also feature an advocacy activation focused on this year’s UHC Day letter-writing campaign. A short letter-writing workshop will take place at the end of the session for guidance on how to prepare and send UHC advocacy letters to decision-makers.
This event will be available in English, Spanish, French, and International Sign Language (ISL).
The countdown to 2030 is on, and we MUST unite in our push for #HealthForAll. Quality health services and financial protection should be a right, not a privilege, for everyone, everywhere. Make your voice heard and join the Town Hall! Register here.
