Details
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognises health as a foundation for social and economic development and political security. The Sustainable Development Goals call for a shift from an exclusive focus on ending preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths to also ensuring health and well-being for all and reducing inequalities in health. To deliver on these ambitious goals, UNICEF is moving to a health systems strengthening approach to programming and advocacy. Strong, flexible and well-resourced health systems are essential to achieving universal access to a core package of services, or universal health coverage, and ensuring global health security, including resilience in the context of health and other emergencies.

DURATION
5 Days
