2024 UHC Day Campaign Annual Parliamentarian Town Hall: A conversation between youth and parliamentarians on UHC and financial protection

By WHO

Join us for the annual UHC Day Youth-Parliamentarian Town Hall!

Hosted by UHC2030, in collaboration with WHO, IPU, CSEM, and IFMSA, this flagship UHC Day event offers a platform for young people and parliamentarians to engage in frank and open discussion about UHC progress and challenges. This year’s session will focus on the UHC Day 2024 financial protection theme: Health: It’s on the government.

During the session, we will:

• Celebrate the outstanding mobilization of youth advocates to call for more and urgent action to advance UHC and protect people from impoverishing health costs.
• Take stock of the financial barriers that cause too many people to delay or miss out on healthcare, and what governments can do to address these barriers and protect the fundamental right to health.
• Highlight the benefits of UHC and the urgent need to shape health policies and budgets that are inclusive and equitable, and that cover health costs for the entire population.

A Q&A session will allow participants to ask questions to youth advocates and parliamentarians.

Closed captioning and interpretation in international sign language will be available. Interpretation in other languages will also be available based on need (please specify your preferred language below).
