World Health Day April 7 2019

Today April 7 is World Health Day.

WHO's (World Health Organization) number one goal is Universal Health Coverage. The key to achieving this goal is making sure everyone, everywhere can get the care they need, when they need it and where they live.

Millions of people must choose between healthcare and other daily expenses such as food and clothing. Those who may choose healthcare can be forced into poverty due to costs. It is estimated that roughly 100 million people fall into this category.

WHO estimates that about 12% of the world's population spends at least 10% of their household budgets on health care. Please visit the website listed directly below:
