Resumen
Descripción
The goal of universal health coverage (UHC) is for all people to receive the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without incurring financial hardship. UHC covers the full continuum of essential health services, from health promotion to disease prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care across the life course. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) incorporate UHC as SDG target 3.8. Two SDG indicators measure progress on the core pillars of UHC (1): Indicator 3.8.1 tracks the service coverage dimension of UHC via the UHC service
coverage index (SCI) (2); Indicator 3.8.2 captures the financial protection dimension of UHC by measuring financial hardship due to out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for health services (3); 6 The World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank support country monitoring for SDG UHC indicators. WHO acts as SDG data custodian for indicator 3.8.1. WHO and the World Bank serve as co-custodians for indicator 3.8.2.
