Program

We invite global health professionals and their partners from all relevant sectors to embrace the agenda on UHC across the life course and further explore how global health contributes to:

  • Ensure health equity throughout the life course, within and among countries
  • Enhance collaboration between the health sector and other social sectors for sustainable health and wellbeing
  • Design and implement effective and fair patient-focused integrated care such as promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services, and palliative care
  • Strengthen health in all policy approaches to reduce the burden of disease, both communicable and non-communicable, and ensure the sustainability of the health system as well as the security system
  • Build effective, accountable and inclusive governance at all levels that ensure population health and well-being
