#HealthCostsHurt ! Thank you PMNCH for raising your calls to action for this #UHCDay.
📌Unaffordable health costs? We are sick of it!
And a message from our co-chair Magda Robalo:
“When people can’t afford care, #HealthCostsHurt. They hurt women. They hurt their families. And they hurt entire communities and entire nations.”
At The Addis Clinic, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all. On UHC Day, we amplify the call to reduce financial barriers to ensure that no one is forced to choose between their health and their livelihood.

#HumanRightsDay #OurEverydayRights #UHCDay #HealthCostsHurt #MoreNowThanEver #UHC
No one should have to choose between food and health care. No one should get poorer because they get sick.
This #UHCDay, we demand action. Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it.

The latest #UHC monitoring report, which in spite of the updated indicators is not all that different from the previous ones, provides some of the backdrop:

Graphic of a young man hugging an older woman who is holding a bag of medications. Both are standing in front of a house with an eviction notice. The text reads: Having to choose between health and other basic needs? We're sick of it.
More than 340 million people are pushed or further pushed into extreme poverty from out-of-pocket health costs. This is not just a personal crisis — it’s a systemic failure.
#HealthCostsHurt and it is time for governments to step up and protect our most vulnerable communities through #UHC

💔 When disease strikes, we sell our livestock.
When we fail to pay medical bills, we pay with our lives.
When there’s nothing left to sell, we watch loved ones die without dignity.
