Taking the National Universal Health Coverage experience global
Oped, Catharina Boehme, Published on 11/12/2025

Traditional sources of global support are shifting, while new pressures -- from climate change to ageing populations -- are reshaping national health priorities. In this dynamic landscape, Thailand's leadership on UHC is both timely and essential, building on the nation's sustained progress toward achieving health for all. The World Health Organization (WHO) is looking to this conference for guidance on how best to advocate for renewed and sustained investment in health across all sectors.
