Presently, millions of people die every day from diseases that could have been prevented or cured with access to quality health services and affordable, effective medicines.

To help overcome this coordination barrier and facilitate dialogue on national health policies, strategies and plans towards Universal Health Coverage, the World Health Organization (WHO) entered into a collaborative agreement with the European Union (EU) and Luxembourg in 2011.
