Universal Health Care is one of the most widely shared goals in global health. The concept of Universal Health Care captures a common set of common values equity, shared responsibility, and quality healthcare delivery irrespective of ability to pay. This paper focuses on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which is one aspect of Universal Health Care, unless otherwise specified. Universal Coverage focuses primarily on the achievement of a wide network of health providers and health institutions so that the vast majority of the population can have access to health services; the components that are ‘sufficient’ to be considered adequate coverage are highly contested, as we will show.
Debates about expanding health care within a country involve competing visions about the appropriate roles of the public and private sectors; market and state; local and
central government; the duties and entitlements of youth and elderly, sick and healthy, and rich and poor; and the contribution of health to the advancement of society.
