Health for All, Means All
Medium - "Negative rhetoric against LGBTI people and crackdowns on civil society are shaping an environment of fear and repression in countries around the world, driving individuals underground and away from health systems and services. At the same time, many countries are taking steps to achieve universal health coverage — the idea that everyone, everywhere should have access to a set of essential health services without experiencing financial hardship.
LGBTI rights and universal health coverage have long been viewed as distinct issues, but the reality is that the two go hand in hand." (By Mandeep Dhaliwal, Director of HIV, Health and Development, United Nations Development Programme)
