Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 72
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The sustainable implementation of a modern public health approach is not only in line with human rights, but is also a powerful way to develop and strengthen social justice and social cohesion. In that regard, the importance of universal health coverage cannot be overestimated. Since the International Conference on Primary Health Care, there have been many achievements, but also failures. Universal coverage is a central component of healthy public policies and its global achievement should be seen as one of the main goals for the post-2015 agenda. However, the Special Rapporteur thinks that a broader holistic approach is needed so that none, in particular those in vulnerable situations and in most need of health care, are not excluded neither de jure nor de facto from access to quality services.
