Abstract

Universal health coverage (UHC) is considered as a powerful mechanism for achieving better health, promoting human development and enabling equitable access to the health services, for all. 1 With achieving UHC becoming a major policy goal globally and increasing adoptions of UHC at policy levels across various member states of WHO, it is also extremely important to continuously monitor the progress towards UHC across respective states.
