measures are especially critical given the large scope and increased complexity of health services required. The universal health coverage (UHC) target of the health SDG stipulates that everyone can obtain essential health services at high quality without suffering financial hardship, yet quality has not been widely tracked. 11 There is no benefit to UHC if people are un willing to use services due to the poor quality of the services for which they are financially covered. Even if people are accessing services, poor quality will undermine health outcomes, reducing the value of UHC. Finally, high-quality health services attract the public support that contributes to governments providing sustained financing.
