Over 1,800 participants, including MPs from some 150 parliaments, UN and civil society partners from around the world met in Belgrade from 13 to 17 October. A landmark resolution calling for parliaments to take all legal and policy measures to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030 was adopted by the world’s parliaments gathered in Serbia for the 141st IPU Assembly. The resolution urges parliaments to put in place effective UHC legislation to ensure that the right to public health and medical care is guaranteed for all in law and in practice, without discrimination. The resolution is designed to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage for up to 5 billion people who are projected to lack access to essential health services by 2030.
