𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 calls us to rethink how we can design a health system that truly serves everyone. ARK Foundation is working to bridge gaps and promote awareness to secure Universal Health Coverage for all. In this roundtable discussion with The Business Standard, distinguished public health expert and member of the Interim Government’s Women’s Affair Reform Commission, Dr. Halida Hanum Akhter, highlights why equity must be ensured in every health decision, from primary care to rural services to maternal health. She reminds us that stronger frontline facilities, fair budget allocation, and prioritizing vulnerable communities are essential if we want meaningful progress. Universal Health Coverage isn’t just a goal, it’s a commitment to make sure that every person, in every corner of the country, can access the care they deserve.
