This year’s abrupt foreign aid cuts have hit health systems across Africa, Yes, we need smarter, more sustainable domestic financing. But this is not a case for cutting aid further. Aid remains vital for crises, for the poorest communities, and for building resilient systems. #healthequity

Access to life-saving #NCD treatments shouldn't depend on where you live or what you can afford, but this is still the reality. With #UNGA HLM on NCDs ahead, it’s time to turn commitments into action. Our latest briefing outlines how policymakers can drive real impact.
As governments prepare for the 4th High-level Meeting on #NCDs, they must push the #pharma industry for concrete commitments to address access gaps in #LMICs. Our latest briefing outlines the key priorities for this engagement. Read it here➡️ bit.ly/3DXQZo5 #UNGA #AccesstoMedicine #GlobalHealth
