We have received the following from Global Health Strategies | UHC Coalition

We are writing to make sure you saw the important deadlines coming up in March that will help lay the groundwork for the High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage, which will take place on 23 September 2019 at the UN Headquarters in New York City. 

1. Make sure your organization is eligible to register – Deadline: 3 March

Before you can claim your seat at the table, you need to get your foot in the door. If your organization wants to attend the High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage or the preparatory multi-stakeholder hearing on 29 April, you must apply for accreditation before Sunday, 3 March. If your organization is not granted accreditation, you will not be able to register for either event. Full details can be found here

2. Help shape the meeting’s priorities and calls to action – Deadline: 10 March

3. Share these opportunities far and wide. 
Most of us can agree that conversations in global health and development have been dominated by the same voices for too long. Help make sure that these opportunities to contribute reach as many people as possible by forwarding this email or posting on social media. 

Right now, we do not know for sure what will come out of the High-Level Meeting. What we do know is that we cannot afford to let these deadlines pass us by. Every missed opportunity to demand stronger, more equitable health systems will only contribute to business as usual.

Looking forward to partnering with you to make this year count.
