New online hub to support growing global movement toward universal health coverage.

The movement toward universal health coverage (UHC) has attracted a growing global community of policymakers, practitioners, researchers and other international development partners in low- and middle-income countries.

In response to this growing movement, Results for Development Institute(R4D) has launched UHC Forward— a new online hub that consolidates news, events, and publications related to the global universal health coverage (UHC) movement. 

Visitors can stay informed of health coverage efforts in countries around the world, explore key issues and policy debates related to universal health coverage, exchange ideas with others by submitting blogs or articles, and find links to additional resources to support their own efforts.

UHC Forward offers:

• Headlines from around the globe, so that you can stay current on the latest news related to UHC
• A rich database that provides detailed comparative information on the health financing reforms of countries pursuing UHC
• A UHC Forward Blog, with commentary from global thought leaders and practitioners, and synopses of major events and publications
• Key resources including publications, presentations, and information and links to other UHC initiatives
• Information about upcoming events related to UHC
