About the Course

"Universal health coverage (UHC) ensures all people, everywhere, can get the quality health services they need without financial hardship. Every 12 December, advocates worldwide mobilize on UHC Day to call for strong, equitable health systems that leave no one behind: Health for All.

This year, against the backdrop of a global pandemic that has claimed millions of lives, the case for universal health coverage is clear. Join us to tell leaders that UHC is a moral and smart investment that cannot wait."

In this resource Medics.Academy and The HLA have put together some of the extensive resources that we have gathered over the last year for healthcare workers to understand some of the issues related to universal health coverage. This resource was put together by Pedra Rabiee, Deputy Director Communications - The Healthcare Leadership Academy.

Completion of this FREE programme will give you a FREE CPD certificate as part of the Medics.Academy Global Health and UHC programme. The certificate will be automatically issued on completion of all elements of the content.

About the Organisation

The Healthcare Leadership Academy

The Healthcare Leadership Academy formed in response to the demand from young clinicians and medical students to learn about leadership. Founded by Dr Johann Malawana and a team of like-minded professionals the Healthcare Leadership Academy launched on the 20th of December 2016. HLA houses an exciting faculty from across the health sector and beyond. Their shared aim is to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals and develop their understanding of leadership. Too often in healthcare, leadership is confused with management. Through a combination of mentoring, socratic discussion and rigorous training in practical leadership skills, The HLA aims to inspire our scholars to change the world of healthcare, one small step at a time.
