PM Tsering of Bhutan tweets about bumping into PM Modi
Prime Minister of Bhutan Lotay Tshering has taken to Twitter to post a photograph of him bumping into his “dear friend” in New York. PM Tshering was referring to his interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the UHC2030 where the former was waiting his turn to speak. As per the tweet, the picture was taken ahead of Bhutan's speech at the event. Prime Minister Modi also spoke at the Universal Healthcare Coverage event.
What is UHC 2030?
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is about ensuring that all individuals and communities have access to the health care they need. UHC does not mean healthcare is free. It means that personal (out-of-pocket) payments do not deter people from using services and that people are protected from "catastrophic health expenditures". The UHC2030, which is hosted by the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization, is the only global health partnership which engages the private-sector in a structured way together with governments, civil society and international organization stakeholders.
