Report of the SR on the right to health and Agenda 2030 2016, para. 86
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States will not achieve Goal 3 without a robust commitment to addressing social and psychosocial determinants of health, as well as inequalities in income, education, living and working conditions and distribution of resources. Universal health coverage must not be limited to biomedical interventions such as medicines and vaccines but must equally include modern interventions that go beyond the biomedical model, including psychosocial and other interventions that address structural and environmental barriers to health. These interventions should be supported and funded as effective and essential interventions, on par with biomedical interventions, and should not be seen as a luxury available only to rich countries.
