How can universal health coverage be achieved for neglected populations?

World Health Organisation (WHO) The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are ambitious and strongly focused on the root causes of poverty, human suffering, disease and premature death of neglected populations ("leave no One behind ").

An important tool in this direction is the concept of the Universal Health Coverage, which aims to keep these people from financial ruin and help them to gain better health. The current issue of the WHO Bulletin shows various strategies how this concept can be implemented. (Photo: Canada in Afghanistan/flickr)
