Doctor in the House: World Health Day 2018 – Universal Health Coverage

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. ‘Everyone, Everywhere’ – that’s the promise of universal health coverage. Sadly, we are nowhere near this target. People around the world are dying or falling sick simply because they cannot afford or access essential health services. In conjunction with World Health Day on 7th April, Dr Lo Ying-Ru, Head of Mission and WHO Representative to Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Singapore joins Dr George Lee to discuss why people are still being denied the basic right to health.
