AHAIC2019: DRPC, NIPPS lead Nigerian delegation to Rwanda for major health conference
This year’s event is aimed at driving progress for Universal Health Coverage in the continent.Themed ‘2030 Now: Multi-sectoral Action to Achieve Universal Health Coverage in Africa’, the event is co-hosted by Amref Health Africa and the Ministry of Health of Rwanda.
They will discuss the most important health challenges and advancements in Africa and co-create home-grown solutions. Universal Health Coverage is central to the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals of leaving no one behind. Its benefit goes beyond ensuring good health for populations; it also contributes to a reduction in poverty, gender equity, social economic growth, and human capital development of any society.
Since the declaration, Nigeria that hosted the conference in 2001 has not attained the pledged funding benchmark as the federal government has never voted more than six per cent of its annual budget to the health sector.
