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. #HealthierAfrica, #PrimaryHealthCare, #EndingDiseasesInAfrica
