Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what preparations her Department is making ahead of the high-level meeting on universal health coverage agreed by the UN General Assembly to take place in 2019.

Achieving Global Goal 3 by 2030, including universal health coverage (UHC), is a priority for the UK. DFID is coordinating across the UK Government and with other donors on preparations for the High-Level Meeting on UHC. We are working to ensure that UHC, and the steps to achieve it, are discussed in international forums such as the G7 and G20 ahead of the High-Level Meeting.
