Universal health coverage
The BMJ in partnership with The Harvard Global Health Institute has launched a collection of articles exploring how to achieve effective universal health coverage (UHC). The collection highlights the importance of quality in UHC, potential finance models, how best to incentivise stakeholders, and some of the barriers to true UHC.
The BMJ and The Harvard Global Health Institute share a commitment to drive UHC forward. Through drawing on empirical evidence and examples of success, we hope to stimulate debate and encourage ongoing work in this field to fulfil the promise of health for all through UHC.
