The Enugu State Agency for Universal Health Coverage (ESA-UHC) was established under the Enugu State Health Sector Reform Law 2017 to promote, regulate, supervise and ensure effective administration of the Enugu State Universal Health Coverage Scheme.

    Our Values
  • The right to health – access to quality affordable healthcare
  • Equity – absence of unfair avoidable differences in health status, in access to health care, healthy environments
  • Solidarity – pooling of resources and risks, cross subsidisation – appreciation and commitment to social justice, to redistribution of resources to achieve healthcare services for all

Key facts

  • The world is off track to make significant progress towards universal health coverage (Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target 3.8) by 2030. Improvements to health services coverage have stagnated since 2015, and the proportion of the population that faced catastrophic levels of out-of-pocket health spending increased continuously since 2000. This global pattern is consistent across all regions and the majority of countries.
  • The UHC service coverage index increased from 45 to 68 between 2000 and 2021. However, recent progress in increasing coverage has slowed compared to pre-2015 gains, rising only 3 index points between 2015 and 2021 and showing no change since 2019.
