CoachMan’s Mission is to facilitate sustainable access to quality assured pharmaceuticals in support of Sustainable Development Goal of Universal Health Coverage
• At least half of the world’s population still do not have full coverage of essential health
services.
• About 100 million people are still being pushed into extreme poverty (defined as living on
1.90 USD or less a day) because they have to pay for health care.
• Over 930 million people (around 12% of the world’s population) spend at least 10% of their
household budgets to pay for health care.
• All UN Member States have agreed to try to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) by
2030, as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.
UHC means that all individuals and communities receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. It includes the full spectrum of essential, quality health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care.
Achieving UHC is one of the targets the nations of the world set when adopting the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Countries that progress towards UHC will make progress towards the other health-related targets, and towards the other goals. Good health allows children to learn and adults to earn, helps people escape from poverty, and provides the basis for long-term economic development.
