The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) joins the international community in observing World Health Day on 7 April. The theme for this year’s celebration is universal health coverage. The World Health Organization reported that millions of people still have no access to health care. About 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket spending on health. Millions more are forced to choose between health care and other basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter.
