- The report “Tracking Universal Health Coverage (UHC): 2025 Global Monitoring Report” was released by the World Bank Group.
- About 1 in 10 people globally live on less than $3 per day, the extreme poverty line.
- Global UHC service coverage index (SCI) rose from 54 in 2000 to 71 in 2023.
- The share of the population facing financial hardship due to out-of-pocket (OOP) health payments fell from 34% in 2000 to 26% in 2022.
- Progress on UHC has slowed since 2015.
- The service coverage index (SCI) is projected to reach only 74 by 2030.
- This would leave 24% of the global population still facing health-related financial hardship.
- Service coverage improved mainly in infectious disease control.
- Reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) services saw minimal gains.
- Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) remain the least covered health domain.
- Poor populations are still disproportionately affected by OOP health spending.
