Symposium focus
The world is falling behind in achieving universal health coverage (UHC), with only a few countries making progress in improving service coverage and reducing catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenses.
Although UHC aims to provide comprehensive services to everyone when and where they need them, access to care for non-communicable diseases, reproductive health, maternal, newborn, and child health in Africa remains far below the desired targets.
Additionally, the continent faces significant challenges such as epidemics, antimicrobial resistance, and the impacts of conflict and climate change, all of which hinder the sustainable achievement of UHC.
