It has been 4 years since the Presidential Health Compact was signed at the inaugural #PresidentialHealthSummit. As we know too well, it was not that long after the summit took place that #COVID19 broke out.

Promoting UHC and achieving sustainable development relies on collaboration between governments, civil society organisations, the private sector, and other stakeholders

The aim furthermore is to promote health equity and reduce health disparities by providing essential health services to all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status or geographic location.
