Health Policy Watch "NEW YORK – Negotiations over a planned United Nations political declaration on universal health coverage (UHC) reopened last week after about a dozen countries reportedly objected to language in the final draft covering two sensitive issues – sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and the health needs of migrants, refugees, internally displaced persons and indigenous peoples. The United States was one of the 10-14 countries posing objections, sources told Health Policy Watch, after negotiations over the draft were closed on 24 July. The draft was then put under a “silence procedure” for five days, a period in which countries may file objections to effectively reopen debate." (Photo: United Nations Photo/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
