This post in the UHC Forward blog describes the second meeting of the Universal Health Coverage Roundtable Series, "Toward Sustainable Universal Health Coverage," which was hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City on February 9. The panelists "examined the possibilities, challenges, and paths toward achieving Universal Health Coverage in different resource settings by exploring the methods for expanding and supporting coverage worldwide" and discussed issues such as how to define UHC, the importance of quality in health care, improving cost-effectiveness, and how to increase utilization of existing services, according to the blog (Wellington, 2/20).
