At the Digital Health Interoperability Network (DHIN), we proudly join the global community in celebrating Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, a day dedicated to emphasizing the importance of ensuring that everyone, everywhere, can access quality healthcare without financial hardship.

This year’s theme, "Health for All: Protect Everyone," aligns closely with DHIN’s mission to bridge gaps in healthcare systems, empower underserved communities, and foster equitable access to digital health solutions. Reflecting on our achievements in 2024, it is evident that advancing interoperability remains central to achieving UHC in Nigeria and beyond.
