In 2015, the United Nations issued the Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals,(1) which highlighted the need to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all across the lifespan. Goal 3 aims to make sure everyone has access to health and health coverage and, in 2019, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the political declaration of the highlevel meeting on universal health coverage reaffirming that "health is a precondition for and an outcome and indicator of the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development".(2) The High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth identified that investments in the health and social workforce can spur inclusive economic growth.(3)
