Sláintecare is a proposed reform of the healthcare system of Ireland. Pronounced /ˈslɔːntʃəkɛər, ˈslɑːn-/ SLAWN-chə-kair, SLAHN-, the name is derived from sláinte [ˈsˠl̪ˠaːnʲtʲə], the Irish word for "health." The intent of the Sláintecare reforms is to achieve a universal single-tier health and social care system, which provides equitable access to services based on need, and not ability to pay. Currently, Ireland is the only state within the EU which does not provide universal healthcare, according to WHO criteria. The Sláintecare programme enjoys the support of all parties in the Oireachtas.
