Universal health coverage means that all people have access to the health services that they need, when and where they need it, without financial hardship. With current resources and technology, that level of universality will be difficult to reach. However, by harnessing more resources, using resources more efficiently, and expanding access to technology to the wider public, healthcare delivery can reach more people, where they need to be reached, improving both the equity of healthcare services and the health of the citizenry.
