Universal Health Coverage has three dimensions population coverage, health services coverage and financial protection coverage and is often presented by a cube, referred as ‘UHC Cube’.

• The inside cube reflects the existing status in the countries, where only a proportion of the population has access to health services, only a few services are available and not all who receive services can afford the cost.
• The outer cube is the aspirational goal for the countries, as defined by UHC, and proposes that all countries should fill the box by extending coverage of quality services with affordable cost.
