Submit a StoryUniversal health coverage (UHC) ensures that people have access to quality services without suffering financial hardship. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is an integral part of UHC, reaching vulnerable and marginalized populations and is a marker of achieving gender equality. The Learning by Sharing Portal (LSP) is a global resource for the integration of SRHR within UHC, covering a range of topics including digital health innovations, financing and reaching vulnerable and marginalized populations.
I cannot think of any convincing argument for why SRH services should not be part of any country’s UHC package. Since the question of “why” is therefore not relevant, the portal provides a valuable resource for “how” integration may be advanced

Sexual and reproductive health and rights are not a privilege, but a fundamental human right. Integrating them into universal health coverage is not just a matter of policy, but a matter of justice, equality, and human dignity.
