Together, let’s keep up the momentum, calling on national leaders to transform their UHC promises into concrete laws, budgets, policies, and programs to remove financial barriers to essential health services.
In addition to the Advocacy Letter Campaign, the UHC team warmly invite you to participate in the UHC Day video that will amplify voices of civil society and communities by sharing real world experiences in facing financial hardship while accessing care, and calls to action. Please find more information below.
- Advocacy Letter
UHC are delighted to see that some letters have been sent to decision makers and count some UHC Day Champions already.
You can find all the information on this letter advocacy campaign to customize and send your letter here. Only advocates who send letters to their leaders will be considered to take part in the 2024 UHC Day Champion campaign (please let them know by copying laura@wacihealth.org).Please feel free to reach out (or register to open sessions here) if you have any questions.
- UHC Day 2024 Stories
As we prepare to commemorate the UHC Day Campaign on December 12, 2024, we would like to invite you to share your stories and experiences facing financial hardship in accessing care resulting from out-of-pocket health expenditure under the format of a short video. The aim is to shed light on this critical issue that has been largely ignored and ensure that the voices, stories, and lived experiences of those most impacted are heard. We hope that this will help inspire action from governments to put in place policies, regulations and funding that are critically needed to address this problem.
UHC invite advocates to upload a short video via this google form responding to one or more of the following questions: What does financial protection mean to you? How did you face financial hardship due to out of pocket health care costs? What is your call to action for your decision makers/ government?
Please make sure to complete and send your video via this google form by November 23, 2024 and to share with your network.
