Universal Health Care Law

Universal healthcare Law (also called universal health coverage, universal

coverage, or universal care) is a health care system that provides health care
and financial protection to all residents of a particular country or region. It is
organized around providing a specified package of benefits to all members of a
society with the end goal of providing financial risk protection, improved access
to health services, and improved health outcomes.[1]

Universal healthcare law does not imply coverage for all people for everything,
only that all people have access to healthcare. Some universal healthcare law
systems are government funded, while others are based on a requirement that
all citizens purchase private health insurance. Universal healthcare law can be
determined by three critical dimensions: who is covered, what services are
covered, and how much of the cost is covered.It is described by the World Health
Organization as a situation where citizens can access health services without
incurring financial hardship. The Director General of WHO describes universal
health coverage as the “single most powerful concept that public health has to
offer” since it unifies “services and delivers them in a comprehensive and
integrated way”.One of the goals with universal healthcare law is to create a
system of protection which provides equality of opportunity for people to enjoy
the highest possible level of health.

As part of Sustainable Development Goals, United Nations member states have

agreed to work toward worldwide universal health coverage by 2030.

Universal Health Care Law

Universal Health Care (UHC), also referred to as Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP),

is the “provision to every Filipino of the highest possible quality of health care
that is accessible, efficient, equitably distributed, adequately funded, fairly
financed, and appropriately used by an informed and empowered public”.

The landmark law expands access to health services by automatically enrolling

all Filipinos in PhilHealth's National Health Insurance Program (NHIP). It seeks to
ensure that all Filipino citizens have access to a comprehensive set of health
services without financial hardship.

universal health care is a system that provides organized health coverage to all
citizens of a governed region and is publicly funded through taxation. The health
care systems under universal health care are built upon the principle of universal
coverage for all members of society, by combining mechanisms for health
financing and service provision.
