This supplement of Value in Health contains a selection of contributions that were originally presented at the SDA Bocconi School of Management global conference on Sustaining and Implementing Universal Health Coverage. Four Perspectives for Five Continents in Milan, in February 2012. The conference was hosted by MIHMEP – the Master of International Healthcare Management, Economics and Policy, an education programme of 13-years standing with a broad network of +400 Alumni in 70 different countries. The conference represented a major milestone in the life of this network. It’s main objectives were to present evidence and discuss the major challenges of universal health coverage (UHC) in high- and low-income countries, from different perspectives: healthcare management, health economics, health policy, public and global health. The aim was to facilitate a liberal dialogue between all actors essential to healthcare provision in order to learn from the experiences of professionals in other sectors and countries, and to address the policies behind the implementation of UHC. By including all areas of healthcare in the debate – global and public health, healthcare systems and policy, healthcare management, and health economics – we gained a more complete understanding of the different elements required to achieve a truly universal coverage and stimulated the healthcare community to believe that instead of passively reacting to changes, they should be driving the changes.

Abstract
This supplement of Value in Health contains a selection of contributions that were originally presented at the SDA Bocconi School of Management global conference on Sustaining and Implementing Universal Health Coverage. Four Perspectives for Five Continents in Milan, in February 2012. The conference was hosted by MIHMEP – the Master of International Healthcare Management, Economics and Policy, an education programme of 13-years standing with a broad network of +400 Alumni in 70 different countries. The conference represented a major milestone in the life of this network. It’s main objectives were to present evidence and discuss the major challenges of universal health coverage (UHC) in high- and low-income countries, from different perspectives: healthcare management, health economics, health policy, public and global health. The aim was to facilitate a liberal dialogue between all actors essential to healthcare provision in order to learn from the experiences of professionals in other sectors and countries, and to address the policies behind the implementation of UHC. By including all areas of healthcare in the debate – global and public health, healthcare systems and policy, healthcare management, and health economics – we gained a more complete understanding of the different elements required to achieve a truly universal coverage and stimulated the healthcare community to believe that instead of passively reacting to changes, they should be driving the changes.
