Abstract

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) plays a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, particularly in the context of health equity and quality healthcare for all. UHC aims to ensure that every individual has access to necessary health services without financial hardship. This article explores the link between UHC and SDGs, highlighting the importance of achieving universal health access as a means of promoting overall social development. The paper examines the progress and challenges faced by Pakistan in integrating UHC into its healthcare system and offers policy recommendations for sustainable and equitable healthcare access. By analyzing the role of UHC in advancing the SDGs, the paper underscores the need for strategic investments in health systems, governance reforms, and community-based healthcare solutions.
