About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

Note: This is an in-person event

Join us for a discussion about advocating for a universal health coverage agenda that includes health investments, policies and programs that provide access to prevention and care for persons born with congenital anomalies.

"Child survival in low-income settings is improving globally; and yet still, interventions to prevent, detect and treat congenital disorders are often neglected. With greater focus and investment, we can help give children born with a serious condition a healthier life, no matter where they are born." - Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General, World Health Organization
