Résumé
<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><head>Introduction</head><p>Each person having access to needed health services, of sufficient quality, and without suffering financial hardship, defined as universal health coverage (UHC) by the World Health Organization, is critical to improve population health, particularly for vulnerable populations.
