The practice of responsible self-care can recognise the strengths of individuals as active agents of their own health, and not merely passive recipients of health services. Rational use of self-care is essential in moving the healthcare system from disease management to prevention, by encouraging individuals to adopt preventative measures and interventions.”

The HFN reiterates her commitment to ensuring continuous support for the development of models that can help to prevent catastrophic levels of health spending as a result of seeking for quality healthcare. For instance, this can be done by bringing on board the relevant stakeholders to develop and implement financial protection models/frameworks through the institution of policies on demand side financing; the Institution of Healthcare Insurance as an intervention for beneficiaries who are unable to access healthcare.

"Healthsetgo is India's pioneering school health organization, nurturing a healthy, disease free future for India by inculcating healthy habits from a young age at schools and providing access to preventive healthcare. Driven by the vision of 'Every Child Healthy' - we provide access to quality, affordable healthcare to urban and below poverty line families in the school environment in India. Our programs involve conducting annual preventive medical health checkups at schools on various parameters through a team of doctors to identify early stage health risks in children from 2-17 years.

By providing these data driven medical reports, we have empowered parents, schools and governments to make timely interventions. We would be happy to share learnings, best practice with the constituency, if and when required, as well as be present at various forums for discussions to present a youth point of view which is required for UHC. Conversely, we would be happy to implement other global best practices for UHC across our beneficiaries in India. We are constantly working with the Indian Government and regulatory ecosystem to drive UHC in policy and in implementation."

“40-70% of healthcare expenditure in Kenya goes to pharmaceuticals. The implication of this is that for the consumer to be shielded from unaffordable healthcare the cost of pharmaceuticals has to be controlled. PSK is on track to control the prices and offload the burden from the patient by having a standardized model of practice that reduces unnecessary costs in the medicine supply chain. This model of practice, branded Greencross, aggregates supply, cuts down the number of duplicate products and ensures adequately trained personnel in each member pharmacy. This guarantees the quality of both the product and the service.”

We believe that UHC is to public health what Blockchain is to the fourth industrial revolution. It is "the" catalyst for the transition to a global public health 4.0 at scale. The UN SDGs emphasised the need for UHC prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic has heightened the urgency for UHC and created a suitable climate to leapfrog health systems around the world through UHC-oriented programs and initiatives. 

Our aim is to strengthen the fabric and foundation of local health systems. We do this in two ways.
Firstly, by helping governments and institutions articulate their UHC ambitions into concrete plans, and find answers to questions such as "What to prioritise in the short-mid term?", "What competencies to get around the table or where to find them?" and "How to qualify risks in the UHC context and manage them?". 

Secondly, by driving holistic and more integrated solutions to local health systems before the next waves of health crises hit. To achieve this, we work with diverse teams of professionals and partners to bridge the cultural or communication gaps to consumers and introduce a truly international perspective to drive optimal outcomes in local health systems. 

"As a global health care company that is committed to improving health and well-being around the world, SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) is a core of our business and is aligned with our mission to save and improve lives. We [also] recognize that barriers to quality care and medical treatment - such as lack of trained health care professionals, weak infrastructure, political uncertaintly, civil strife, and a shortage of safe water in many parts of the world - make even basic health care delivery difficult at best. These challenges go well beyond what we can directly address alone, so we work in partnership with a range of stakeholders to improve the global health ecosystem."

“Through the ‘Health In Your Hands' initiative, our main focus is on addressing healthcare, health promotion and prevention for those at the ‘last mile’ - meaning neglected people (marginalised groups for e.g. refugees and mental health patients), neglected places (meaning remote locations or those with no access to health services and infrastructure) and neglected (health) problems (where traditional public health national expenditures are not fully allocated such as essential surgery, mental health etc).”

"Novartis Social Business (NSB) is an example of a business unit that supports global public health through novel sustainable business models.

"The value of mobility devices reaches far beyond medical health. Helping people with disabilities to restore mobility and protect the mobility they have retained enables them to participate actively in economic and social life. Therefore, Ottobock is working with cross- and multisectoral stakeholders to include mobility devices and related services into UHC, thus making them accessible and affordable for all.”

“Pfizer believes in the promise of UHC.  We recognize that access to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines and vaccines is a critical component of UHC[i] and that, as an innovative pharmaceutical company, we have an important role to play in helping to deliver on this target. We therefore commit to helping to accelerate equitable and sustainable progress towards UHC by tackling affordability and access head on – Pfizer is committed to addressing patient affordability and access globally.  As part of a series of bold moves, we have challenged ourselves to dramatically increase the number of patients that have access to our medicines by 2023.  To do this, we are exploring new business models such as linking reimbursement to the performance of our medicines and paying for specialty medicines over time. We are also involved in several pilots looking at more significant changes to pricing and reimbursement models.  We are committed to working closely with stakeholders and governments to accelerate these changes and improve overall access.”

"Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya (PSK) recognizes that pharmacists are strategically placed as primary caregivers since most healthcare seekers contact the pharmacy as the first point of contact with the health system. Involved in the entire medicines value chain from manufacture, to supply chain, to dispensing, pharmacists are a valuable resource in medicines access, a core component in health provision. Therefore, PSK represents pharmacists and strengthens their professional expertise and commitment to constantly update their knowledge and skills. Moreover, PSK developed standards to ensure that patients are provided with high quality pharmaceutical products and care country-wide. Thereby, contributing to universal health coverage by improving the safety of drugs and quality of care by pharmacists to the people,"

Praava Health is changing the way health care is delivered in Bangladesh with a “brick and click” model – quality brick and mortar services, powered by technology. We’re shifting culture away from hospital-centric, transactional, and episodic care to value-based outpatient care focused on prevention.

This enables more personal and empathetic patient-doctor relationships, creating a continuity of care, improving outcomes for patients, and reducing burdens on the health system overall.

Our reach52 access “offline-first” healthtech platform enables access to a full range of health services in even low-connectivity markets, from equipping health workers, education, screening and advice to e-commerce for affordable health products (medicines, insurance, diagnostics and consumer health). Community members and health workers are equipped as networks of agents with the “offline-first” mobile platform to manage the services, such as collecting data, running health programmes, and delivering products. We actively partner with governments, non-profits and businesses to translate their business, social and access strategies into sustainable health services and impact through our platform. All of our work is underpinned by population data which we collect through our agents, and use to deliver targeted health services where they’re needed most. Digital health provides the opportunity to accelerate UHC progress, but only if it works for the billions of people living in low-connectivity regions across LMICs. Through our health tech platform, community empowerment, and bringing together partners across the health ecosystem, we’re committed to reaching everyone on earth with the affordable, accessible health care they need in a sustainable way.  

At Roche, we know that life-changing innovation is only meaningful if it reaches those who need it. We also understand that millions of patients all over the world still do not have access to quality health care. Multiple barriers stand in their way, and the situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic, which is contributing to increasing global inequalities.

"Comprehensive universal health coverage is an investment, not a cost. It helps build stable economies and strong societies and is fundamental to addressing inequality in access to treatment. As a company, our goal is to support health systems in delivering sustainable access to comprehensive care for all people who need it. We have a longstanding commitment to partner with health care systems to build capability and capacity in prevention, diagnostics, analytics, and treatment." - F. Hoffmann-La Roche

“At Philips, we believe every person on this planet should have access to high-quality, affordable care. Digital health solutions have to become a vital part of UHC to strengthen health systems and achieve health coverage especially for the many, not the few. With our innovations, we connect people, data and technology to optimize care delivery. Digital and technological innovation on its own will not be enough to achieve UHC by 2030. It will require responsible leadership, a collaborative approach, new business models and financing solutions within a strong legal framework.”

“Because one-third of the world’s population does not have access to quality healthcare solutions, we are committed to exploring ways to ensure people get the treatments they need and improving their quality of life." “Improving access to healthcare requires tackling various barriers.

As a Japanese company, we see 2019 as a critical year to engage with the UHC2030 platform, given Japan’s leading role on the G20, TICAD meeting and leadership in planning the High-Level Meeting on UHC. Sumitomo Chemical commits to continuously develop innovative health tools to protect from vector-borne disease and will work with countries and multi-lateral partners around the world to facilitate access to health tools for all."

Swoop Aero's  founders had a vision of making basic health care such as vaccinations accessible for everyone, everywhere. They saw the inadequacies in the existing health care supply chain, particularly in rural and remote areas with poor infrastructure and accessibility challenges, and set out to transform last-mile health care deliveries. By removing the reliance on road-based transport models and shifting them to the air, the reach, speed and flexibility of health care provision can be drastically improved. Health care providers have access to an on-demand delivery service, meaning they always have access to the essential supplies when and where they’re needed and can spend more time doing what they do best: caring for their communities. There are so many existing and potential use cases but all share two key benefits: improved patient outcomes and access to affordable basic health care.
