Amref Health Africa’s UHC in Africa Social Media toolkit for TICAD7 Yokohama 2019 – The Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development.
TICAD7: Side Event
Sustainable UHC in Africa through Building Country Ownership
“UHC in Africa: A Framework for Action” launched at TICAD 6 in 2016, presents a comprehensive picture of UHC and identifies key areas to achieve UHC, such as financing, services, equity, preparedness and governance. It aims to contribute to leading countries to take necessary actions and policy steps for moving towards UHC. Accelerating progress towards UHC in Africa is within reach but will require concerted efforts and commitments from different stakeholders. TICAD 7 is therefore a key moment to take stock of progress on UHC in Africa and to ensure the momentum generated at TICAD 6, and further discuss the approach towards achievement of UHC in a sustainable manner.
