    Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC) is a global initiative striving to ensure that all people, everywhere, can access quality health services they need without financial hardship. The core tenets of UHC rests on principles of equity, non-discrimination and the right to health,aiming to reach and cover even the most marginalised populations, ensuring that no one is left behind. The recent High Level Meeting (HLM) on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), witnessed a renewed commitment from the global community to achieving UHC for all, marked by the adoption of the United Nations Political Declaration on Universal Health Coverage. It is disheartening that Self-Care did not find a place or feature in this year's UHC HLM commitments. However, this is not the end of the road for advocating for the self-care agenda and its feature in the political declaration in the future. We must acknowledge that we have collectively made huge strides towards actualising self care interventions. Although selfcare did not make it to the political declarations draft, there are key declarations that we can leverage to advocate and champion self care interventions. These commitments include: Leaving no one behind and critical barriers Strengthening health systems SRHR and access to information Digital Health Interventions Monitoring and Evaluation & Governance In this podcast, we will highlight how young people and advocates can strategically leverage these commitments to bring selfcare conversations to the forefront and hold decision makers, leaders and policy makers accountable. With targeted advocacy and collective efforts amongst youth-led networks, activist, advancing the self-care agenda, we are hopeful that selfcare will see its way into the political declaration in the next 2027 UHC HLM. After all, selfcare seeks to ensure that individuals take control of their own health and this is a positive contribution to actualising UHC. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yplusglobal/message

    Self-care is not a new concept when it comes to healthcare management, especially for chronic diseases. The recent global trends, including humanitarian emergencies, existence of public health emergencies like COVID-19, shortages of healthcare workers has motivated health systems to adapt other approaches like self care. Self-care allows individuals to take charge of their own health, with or without the support of health care. Adolescents and young people living with HIV are subjected to lifelong management of HIV as a chronic condition. Therefore there is a need to support, motivate and encourage AYPLHIV to practice self-care related to their SRHR. This can range from adhering to treatment, treatment as prevention, accessing information and services on SRHR and engaging in advocacy and decision making over their own health.

    Recognising suicide as a public health priority the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 700,000 people worldwide died by their own hand in 2019 resulting into 1.3% of deaths in 2019 globally. Suicide is the third most common cause of death in young women aged 15-29, and the fourth most common among young men. Rates in males of all ages are twice as high than they are in women.77% of global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries.A prior suicide attempt is the single most important risk factor for suicide in the general population. Suicide rates are high amongst vulnerable groups who experience discrimination, such as people living with chronic illnesses, refugees and migrants; indigenous peoples; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and prisoners. Despite an increasing body of evidence showing that effective methods of prevention, screening and diagnosis of, and treatments for, common mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, exist and can be implemented in low- and middle-income countries, services for mental health, neurological, and substance use conditions are often not integrated into packages of essential services and care, including for HIV. Suicide and mental health go hand in hand even though it is reported that people who commit suicide do not show any signs of depression of mental health as they have already let it all go. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yplusglobal/message
