answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) and Global Goal 3 is a UK priority. DFID and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), which leads on our relationship with the World Health Organisation (WHO), work closely to promote the steps to achieve UHC internationally. At the 2018 World Health Assembly, the previous Secretary of State for Health and Social Care stressed the importance of universal access to basic healthcare. We supported the WHO’s thirteenth General Programme of Work and its strong focus on UHC. We are promoting UHC through international forums such as the G7 and G20 to ensure greater collective action is agreed at the 2019 UN High-Level Meeting on UHC.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/09/2018 16:45:23 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
