**5. Policy implications**

The United Nations sustainable development goals (specifically goal 3) and WHO's universal health coverage agenda, which is central to better health and well-being for all, delivering gains across 2030 sustainable development agenda that pledges to leave no one behind and realize improvement in health outcome, necessitates substantial changes in how each country finance both public health and the larger health system [17].

Ensuring that individuals are protected from the financial effects of illness, paying for healthcare as well as promoting the best use of available resources is the primary role of health insurance in meeting UHC goals. This is especially difficult given that both emerging and developed nations must increase healthcare services coverage to people that are not originally insured in order to attain these goals [7, 33].

As out-of-pocket payments are decreased; government agencies, insurer institutions, and private foundations are pressed to raise the resources dedicated to healthcare systems due to increment of insured individuals and expansion of health services coverage. The WHO has suggested a number of measures with the goals of boosting income, reducing obstacles, and improving efficiency to relieve this financial burden [33].

Boost the effectiveness of collecting money through strengthening revenue collection infrastructure and movement away from black and grey markets to a more stable environment where tax avoidance is minimized. This will boost the amount of money that government have at their disposal to finance population health.

For many reasons, UHC means the distinction between providing finance and privation of health services. It has been demonstrated that nations with expanded healthcare coverage have improved health indices and stronger overall socio-economic development. Since most of the voters demand access to inexpensive and highquality health services, supporting a UHC agenda can result in significant electoral dividends for political leaders.

It is simple to forget that progress toward universal health coverage (UHC), is a political task that entails negotiations among different priority groups in society over the distribution of health benefits and resources to be consumed to gain such benefits as there are several complicated technical issues encountered on the way. Generally, moving toward achieving UHC offers health, economic, and political benefits [27, 47].
