Universal health coverage: time to deliver on political promises

World Health Organisation (WHO) "The United Nations General Assembly Political Declaration of the High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) confirmed the towards achieving UHC. However, challenges remain on how these commitments can be translated into actions. (...) Moving towards UHC is a political decision. Evidence from several countries that have achieved UHC shows that policy entrepreneurs, who are strategically located in the policy network and in relatively stable institutional environments, are able to mobilize allies and overcome opposition to shape or achieve a specific policy agenda."
