The Annual Academic Sessions of the International Institute of Health Sciences (IIHS), Sri Lanka will be held on the 04th November 2017 as the 12th Event under the Bio Inquirer Academic Portal of the IIHS. This will be the 6th Research Forum organized by the IIHS on Health Care Research. This year the forum will be under the theme Universal Health Coverage (UHC): Health for All. Universal health coverage (UHC) is defined as ensuring that all people have access to needed promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that people do not suffer financial hardship when paying for these services. Universal Health Coverage Day is celebrated annually on December 12 and is promoted by the World Health Organization. December 12 is the anniversary of the first unanimous United Nations resolution calling for all nations to provide for their citizens affordable, quality health care. UHC is promoted as an instrument to help advance the more broadly conceived human right to health, which is based upon a number of international agreements, or widely-affirmed international documents. Universal health coverage has been included in the new Sustainable Development Goals for 2015-2030, adopted by the United Nations. As a Lower Middle Income Country, it is essential for Sri Lanka to ensure optimal coverage of Health services available for its people. As a training organization of International level Health professionals, it is important to expose the global issues around UHC to the young health scientists who are to serve across many continents. Therefore the IIHS Academic Sessions for 2017 will also be based on this important global initiative.
