Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has great potential to improve the health by ensuring that everyone can access essential health services without financial hardship. However, focusing only on health services is not enough. Addressing the social determinants of health—such as education, housing, employment, and the environment—is crucial to tackle the root causes of health inequalities. For example, improving living conditions and reducing poverty can prevent many illnesses before they require medical attention. Combining UHC with actions on these determinants will create a healthier, more resilient community. This integrated approach promotes equity and long-term wellbeing for all residents.
