Amref Health Africa in the USA

🩺 “Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is the key to ensuring access to quality healthcare without financial hardship. Primary healthcare (PHC) must be about equity—care that meets the needs of all, everywhere, anytime. An effective Primary Healthcare system addresses 80% of community needs and remains accessible to everyone. Equity isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of a healthier future,” @daktari1. #AmrefAtUNGA79 #UNGA79 @GSK @devex @WHO
