Universal Health Coverage (UHC) plays a vital role in ensuring that all people in a society can access quality health services without financial hardship.  To support the International UHC Day (12 December 2021) designated by the United Nations and advocated by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), this webinar will explore how UHC can contribute to an equitable society and discuss the barriers and solutions from cross-country perspective with a focus to the health equity situation in Hong Kong.

Webinar: Universal Health Coverage and Health Equity in Hong Kong is co-organized by CUHK Institute of Health Equity, Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Office, CUHK and the Hong Kong chapter of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN Hong Kong).
