| World Health Day 2018 |
|
The theme for this year's World Health Day
on 7th April is "Universal health coverage: everyone, everywhere". The
World Health Organization (WHO) has put together a toolkit of materials
and messages so that you can get involved in the day.
- Universal health coverage
(UHC) is about ensuring all people can get quality health services,
where and when they need them, without suffering financial hardship.
- No one should have to choose between good health and other life necessities.
- UHC is key to people’s and nations’ health and well-being.
- UHC is feasible. Some countries have made great progress. Their challenge is to maintain coverage to meet people’s expectations.
- All countries will approach
UHC in different ways: there is no one size fits all. But every country
can do something to advance UHC.
- Making health services truly
universal requires a shift from designing health systems around
diseases and institutions towards health services designed around and
for people.
- Everyone can play a part in the path to UHC, by taking part in a UHC conversation.

- fostering a common understanding of rehabilitation as a health strategy;
- advocating with one voice at a global level.
The vision of the Global Rehabilitation Alliance is a world where
every person has access to timely, quality, user-centred rehabilitation
services. Its mission is to advocate for the provision rehabilitation as
an integral component of Universal Health Coverage, and to be a strong,
cohesive body of stakeholders united to further the development of
rehabilitation around the world.
There is strong global support for this alliance. At the conclusion

| International conference on health professional regulation |
|
Margot Skinner, WCPT Vice President, will be speaking at the Fifth World Health Professions Regulation Conference, taking place 19th - 20th May 2018 in Geneva. Titled "Mutual recognition: helping professionals move more freely" her presentation will focus on her experiences of the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition (TTMR) Arrangement. Dr
Skinner will share her experiences around the mutually agreed
thresholds for professional standards and describe the benefits of the
TTMR.
"The agreement requires professionals to register with authorities, so
they don't have to jump through all the same hoops to practise," she
explains.
Dr Skinner highlights that the agreement between Australia and New
Zealand enables each country's professional workforce to come from a
bigger pool. Professionals are also able to undertake courses and post
graduate qualifications without the usual barriers.
