Ministerial meeting on universal health coverage

18 February 2013 -- WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan opened a WHO/World Bank meeting on universal health coverage attended by ministers of health and finance. She noted the many benefits of moving towards universal care but reminded participants that doing so is a struggle that takes time and costs money. She challenged participants to explore health financing reforms that do not punish the poor and do not disappoint them either.
