International Universal Health Coverage Day 2020
Each year on 12 December, UHC advocates raise their voices to share the stories of the millions of people still waiting for health, champion what has been achieved so far, call on leaders to make bigger and smarter investments in health, and encourage diverse groups to make commitments to help move the world closer to UHC by 2030.
RDI and EURORDIS have partnered to develop the Universal Health Coverage for Rare Diseases (UHC4 Rare Diseases) campaign. The Campaign aims to enable patient organization and the public to call for Universal Health Coverage policies and programs that include rare Disease. The campaign will be held on 11th Dec. 2020 .
