Universal Health Coverage (#UHC) isn't just about what's written into a policy or benefits package. For people living with diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (#NCDs), it means getting the care they need without financial hardship. That was the focus of the Financing Accelerator Network for NCDs (FAN) Learning Workshop in Accra, #Ghana (August 19-20, 2026), which brought together country delegation and technical stakeholders from Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia and Uganda, to examine how NCD services, medicines and diagnostics can be effectively integrated into UHC Key takeaways: 🔹 Integration must be system-wide 🔹 Evidence drives investment 🔹 Health and finance need a shared table 🔹 Countries learn faster together The Accra workshop combined country experience, practical integration clinics, a political economy discussion and a site visit to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. The real measure of progress is at the point of people accessing care, from prevention through long-term management, when and where they need it, without being pushed into financial hardship.

Telehealth is transforming access to care, connecting patients with health workers and specialist services across distances, and helping bring quality health services closer to those who need them most. In my remarks to the TeleHealth Connect Global Summit in Tunisia, I emphasized that telehealth and emerging technologies, like AI, must advance #HealthForAll, helping expand access while safeguarding equity, privacy and security. With strong governance, interoperable systems and partnership, we can turn digital innovation into better health outcomes for all. Thank you #Tunisia for its leadership and for hosting this important meeting.
