What are the key issues in social health protection?
Worldwide 1.3 billion people do not have access to affordable health care. Every year, more than 150 million people face financial catastrophe due to health care costs and about 100 million people are forced into poverty every year because of these costs and a lack of effective social health protection coverage. Against this background, addressing health-related poverty, income security and access to health services while meeting needs are the key issues.
