Global compact

When organizations sign the Global compact for progress towards universal health coverage, they commit to building and extending equitable, resilient, sustainable health systems, funded primarily by public finance and based on primary health care, to deliver integrated, comprehensive, people-centered, high-quality health services for all. They also commit to the following key principles:  

1. Leaving no one behind: a commitment to equity, non-discrimination and a rights-based approach;
2. Transparency and accountability for results;
3. Evidence-based national health strategies and leadership, with government stewardship to ensure the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of service delivery;
4. Making health systems everybody’s business, with engagement of citizens, communities, civil society and the private sector; and
5. International cooperation based on mutual learning among countries, regardless of their development status and progress in achieving and sustaining UHC, and the principles of development effectiveness.
