Namibia needs to do more in order to achieve the World Health Organisation's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) target of over 80% by 2030.

This is despite notable progress made in the health sector.

Namibia is ranked between 65% and 70% on the WHO UHC Index, an indication that the country is making progress in achieving universal health coverage.

Last year, Cabinet also approved the Universal Health Coverage Policy Framework to provide Namibians with improved and equitable access to quality healthcare services.
