This session looks at how commitments made at the 2018 Global Conference on Primary Health Care, in Astana, Kazakhstan, have helped to invest in knowledge and capacity development, health system and workforce strengthening, investment in health technologies, and health financing.

All the WHO Member States endorsed the Astana Declaration emphasising the critical role of primary health care around the world. The declaration aimed at refocusing efforts on primary health care to ensure that everyone everywhere can enjoy the highest possible attainable standard of health. Strengthening the PHC approach is fundamental to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Declaration is accessible here.

The Primary Health Care Performance Initiative (PHCPI) says that Strong Primary Health Care Saves Lives in Times of Crisis and Calm! PHCPI is a partnership of country policymakers, health systems managers, advocates and others passionate about catalysing primary health care improvements in low- and middle-income countries. PHCPI believes primary health care is critical to keeping people safe and healthy in times of crisis and calm.

In this session, we will hear from the regional PHCs and PHCPI on how, by being dedicated to transforming the global state of primary health care, we get nearer to UHC 2030 delivery.
