Governments across the world are committed to achieving universal health coverage as part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The WHO has defined the goal “To ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them.” This aspiration for healthcare access particularly given the challenges of the past few year seems a long way off.
However, it has never been more important to achieve. Although government commitment is essential for taking this goal forward, there is also the question of how to finance such a system. In this webinar, we ask a panel of health experts from different health systems to address the question of whether it matters who the payers and providers are for delivering universal health and wellbeing.
