Dignity, freedom, and justice for all people with TB everywhere (post)
12 December 2022: Today is Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, the annual rallying point for the growing movement towards health for all. UHC Day marks the anniversary of the United Nations’ historic and unanimous endorsement of universal health coverage in 2012. It comes just two days after Human Rights Day that is commemorated on 10 December each year, in recognition of the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Tuberculosis (TB), one of the world’s top infectious killers, overwhelmingly affects marginalized people and communities, who are often also faced with poverty, stigma and discrimination, and social exclusion. TB-related catastrophic costs impact a significant proportion of people with TB, pushing many of them further into poverty. People-centred, quality and timely services for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care for TB are a basic human right.
