Universal Health Coverage Should Be A Continental Issue By Soko Directory Team / Published March 11, 2021 | 8:20 am KEY POINTS About 600 million people across the African continent do not have access to health services. To address this, we must make increased investments in physical facilities, medical equipment, drugs, and trained personnel. The fourth edition of the Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC 2021) called on stakeholders for greater cross-border and multi-sectoral collaboration to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Africa. The 3-day virtual conference, which began on 8 March 2021 under the theme “Decade for Action: Driving Momentum to Achieve UHC in Africa”, attracted 3,000 participants logging in from 98 countries across the African continent and beyond, including high profile guests and speakers such as H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, President of the Republic of Kenya and World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, among others.
