World Heart Summit 2024 - Ministerial panel Closing the gap in Universal Health Coverage and health

Ministerial panel: Closing the gap in Universal Health Coverage and health financing for CVD
Achieving UHC is essential in addressing the global burden of cardiovascular disease. CVD is a major driver of out-of-pocket health expenditure, leading to poverty and undermining development. This Ministerial panel will showcase examples from countries in different regions that scaled up efforts to achieve UHC, highlighting country strategies to boost financing for NCDs and particularly CVD, discussing challenges experienced in the process, but also demonstrating that it is not an unattainable goal.
