Universal healthcare, also known as universal health coverage, stands for a healthcare system that provides healthcare and financial protection to all the citizens. It is the outcome of the World Health Organization (WHO) constitution of 1948 which acknowledged healthcare as a fundamental human right. Following that, the 1978 Declaration of ‘Health for All’ made the availability of primary healthcare as the way to achieve health for all by the year 2000.  “Universal health coverage is the single most powerful concept that public health has to offer,” said Dr Margaret Chan, seventh director-general of the WHO.
