Abstract

The concept and goal of universal health coverage (UHC) were first used in policy conversations and decisions with the release of the World Health Report in 2010. UHC is defined by the World Health Organization as a situation in which everyone in need of healthcare services may access them without experiencing financial hardship. The supply of high-quality healthcare services and the accessibility of financial risk protection for all people are the two main points of emphasis in this concept [1]. African countries are considering, or have already adopted, policy measures aimed at achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to guarantee healthcare accessibility for everyone. A few African regions have experienced significant economic growth and a decline in poverty in recent times. Research conducted by the African Development Bank indicates that between 2001 and 2014, real gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 5%, which is a significant improvement from the two percent growth that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s [2].
