Communities, universal health coverage and primary health care

Community involvement in primary health care is essential for achieving UHC and Health for All because, in practice, primary health care begins in the household and community. Similarly, research to guide, and demonstrate the value of, an orientation towards communities also requires meaningful community leadership and participation at all stages in the process of increasing access to, and improving the quality of, health services. Neither UHC nor Health for All will be achieved without the substantial contribution of communities.
