Why Universal Health Coverage Day Matters to You and Everyone Else?
Universal Health Coverage Day highlights the urgent issue of rising medical costs. Are you concerned about the cost of seeing a doctor? Are you worried that you won’t be able to afford the costs of private insurance? You’re not alone.
High costs prevent many families from getting the help they need. This problem affects everyone. It touches our neighbors, our colleagues, and our families. This annual event aims to change this reality. It serves as a reminder that health is a human right.
Tarzana Treatment Centers (TTC) stands with the global community. We believe in providing high-quality care for everyone. We offer integrated healthcare services and options for all patients.
A Global Need for Universal Health Coverage Day
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified a major crisis. Too many people are forced to choose between health and other essentials. We witness this struggle every day. The WHO clearly explains why Universal Health Coverage Day is critical:
“Universal Health Coverage Day 2025 shines a spotlight on the devastating human impact of unaffordable health costs. Despite numerous high-level political commitments to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030, more than half of the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services. One in four people face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets-often at the expense of basic needs such as food, education or housing.”
When people can’t afford a doctor, they wait. They wait until a small problem turns into a big emergency. This creates a cycle of poor health and financial stress.
TTC Supports Universal Health Coverage Day Goals
We work hard to address this issue in our community. We want to ensure that cost is not a barrier. Our team accepts almost all insurance plans. We also offer options for those without insurance. This is a core part of our mission.
As noted on the TTC history page, our commitment is strong.
“Throughout its history, TTC has maintained focus on two primary goals: improving the quality of care provided to patients and expanding the number of patients who receive that care. Pursuit of these goals requires consistent attention to effectiveness of patient care combined with removal of barriers to accessing services, broadening of services to enable comprehensive care, and providing staff with the infrastructure needed to provide excellent care.”
We remove barriers by broadening services. Hence, we make sure you get help.
Stronger Communities and Universal Health
Access to care causes a ripple effect. When someone is healthy, they can work, care for their family, and contribute to their community. Universal Health Coverage Day highlights this connection.
The WHO notes that “Healthier populations foster communities that are more resilient, productive, peaceful and prosperous.”
Investing in health saves money in the long term:
- Such investment prevents serious illnesses.
- Such a step lessens the pressure on emergency rooms.
- Overall, a choice that helps society thrive.
