The role of community-based approaches in achieving universal health coverage: addressing the Nigerian narrative.

Universal health coverage (UHC) is aimed at ensuring that individuals and communities have affordable access to essential health care services without facing financial hardship. Achieving UHC and the third sustainable development goal of the United Nations requires that health systems transition from a vertical, top-down, curative approach toward one that puts people at the core of health care services, such as community-centered health interventions.
