The Government of Japan, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank Group, is set to host a significant High-level Forum on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Tokyo on December 6, 2025. This event aims to bring together global leaders, health experts, and policymakers to discuss and promote the importance of accessible healthcare for all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status.

The forum will serve as a platform to address various challenges in achieving UHC, including funding, healthcare infrastructure, and equitable access to medical services.
