Every community deserves timely access to essential health services.
As health challenges evolve and resources become more constrained, stronger coordination and shared solutions are critical.
I am pleased to see experts from across Africa gathering in Kigali 🇷🇼to explore how integrated health campaigns can: reach more people, use resources more efficiently and strengthen primary health care systems.
Integrated delivery is not a new idea—but it is now an urgent priority. By aligning efforts across programmes and partners, countries can move from fragmented approaches to coordinated, high-impact action.
Encouraging to see such strong commitment to practical solutions that improve health outcomes across the region.
