Time to jump back into this year’s #UHCDay Substack series! This week's article explores who shapes health budgets — and how you can influence them. Have a read: uhcdayupdates.substack.com/p/the-people... #UHC #HealthForAll

The people behind the budgets: A look at power and participation

Welcome back advocates! After a few weeks exploring why budgets matter and how governments set priorities, this week we are putting a face to the people behind the budgets.

Political commitments matter. But implementation matters more. Advocate for policies and budgets that make quality health services accessible to everyone, without financial hardship. Use the #UHCDay toolkit to turn your message into a call for action: www.universalhealthcoverageday.org/toolkit/

Behind every health statistic is a person, a family, a community. What needs to change to make health care accessible and affordable in your community? Share your story and help put people's experiences at the centre of #UHCDay. www.universalhealthcoverageday.org/toolkit/ #HealthCostsHurt #UHC

Everyone, everywhere, should be able to access the health services they need, without financial hardship. This #UHCDay, join the global movement calling for health for all – right here, right now! Get inspired 👇 www.uhc2030.org

What does “affordable” health care mean? 1 in 4 people worldwide sacrifice essentials just to pay for #healthcare. #Financialprotection shields people from hardship when they access care. This week’s #UHCDay Substack breaks it down. uhcdayupdates.substack.com/p/uhc-day-20... #HealthCostsHurt

UHC Day 2026: When health care is affordable, UHC is attainable: grasping financial protection

In this issue, we dive into a question that should be on the lips of every UHC advocate: Can people afford to use the health services that exist?
