The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 24
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The health-care guarantees of social protection floors have been greatly reinforced by a separate but closely linked initiative emerging from WHO to promote universal health coverage. That concept has been defined in a way that makes it directly compatible with and complementary to the Social Protection Floor Initiative and was endorsed by the General Assembly in resolution 67/81. In elaborating on this concept, the World Health Assembly has consistently made reference to the right to health, underlined the centrality of universal health care in the post-2015 agenda and emphasized the "the importance of accountability through regular assessment of progress".
