Περίληψη / Abstract:
The UHC aims to deliver health care to different communities and make them able to use the available services without financial hardship. The UHC reduces health inequity, increases access to care, and improves the wellness of the population. However, the healthcare system in many countries is yet far from reaching the totality, accessibility, and
availability of delivering services to all citizens. This presentation explores the importance of the UHC and the various types of healthcare systems used in selected countries.
