Introduction

Before going into the topic "Assistive technology within Universal Health Coverage", it is very essential to understand the basic about Assistive technology and Universal Health Coverage. Universal health coverage (UHC) is defined as all people having access to the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship in paying for the services. It includes the full range of essential health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care.

UHC was firmly endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2005 and further supported in the World Health Report 2010. Since then, more than seventy countries have requested policy support and technical advice for UHC reform from the World Health Organization (WHO).

To achieve UHC, countries must advance in at least three dimensions. Countries must expand priority services, include more people ( ensure that vulnerable groups are not left behind), and reduce out-of-pocket payments.
