Universal Health Coverage Day—“Unaffordable Health Costs? We’re Sick of It!”, 12 December 2025


International Universal Health Coverage Day, observed annually on 12 December, is a global response to the rallying cry: “Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it!” This day confronts the stark reality that millions are excluded from essential care due to financial barriers and mobilizes the world to transform health systems from privileges into universal rights.

Aligned with this year’s theme and Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, MDPI underscores that research is not an academic exercise—it is a vital tool for diagnosing system failures and prescribing equitable solutions. From health economics studies that expose catastrophic spending, to innovations in low-cost diagnostics and community-based insurance models, researchers are providing the evidence and innovations to turn public frustration into actionable policy.

Join us in observing International Universal Health Coverage Day and supporting efforts to turn the promise of health for all into a tangible reality.

World AIDS Day, 1 December 2025


1 December is World AIDS Day, the day is an opportunity for public and private partners to spread awareness about the status of the pandemic and encourage progress in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care around the world. It has become one of the most widely recognized international health days.

In recognition of this day, we recommend the following related articles, Special Issues, and journals spanning multidisciplinary fields, including clinical medicine and biology. We believe that sharing such research can raise the public’s awareness and understanding of AIDS. The aim is to strengthen scientific cooperation in response to increased awareness about HIV/AIDS and to demonstrate international solidarity in the face of the pandemic.

MDPI Webinar | World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week 2025, 21 November 2025


In support of World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week 2025, MDPI is delighted to invite you to our special webinar, “MDPI World AMR Awareness Week Webinar 2025”. This year’s theme, “Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future”, serves as a powerful call to immediate action against one of the most pressing global health threats—antimicrobial resistance.

Through this webinar, we aim to highlight the latest research, innovations, and cross-sector collaborations addressing AMR. We hope these discussions will inspire collective action to promote the prudent use of antimicrobials, strengthen prevention and surveillance systems, and accelerate global efforts to safeguard human, animal, and environmental health.

Thank you for joining us as we raise awareness, exchange insights, and reaffirm our shared commitment to a healthier, more resilient future.
