Despite significant progress in medical improvements in recent decades, disparities in global healthcare and access to essential medicines still persist, with billions around the globe still unable to receive the vital medical attention needed. The recent World Health Statistics report has shown that we are off track to achieve at least three significant targets by 2025, including the universal health coverage (UHC), health emergencies preparedness, and healthier populations “Triple Billion” targets. We must act quickly to respond to the changing healthcare landscape and ensure equitable access for all.
