AMREF’s commitment to the global health agenda in contributing to strong health systems has gained recognition once again. The organisation has been selected to be a member of the World Bank Health, Nutrition and Population Civil Society Consultative Group for the coming three years.
Director General Teguest Guerma has lauded this milestone. “This is a very good opportunity to further strengthen AMREF’s position within the global health agenda”, she said. AMREF will continue to cooperate with key partners in the health sector to push forward its agenda of providing lasting health solutions by ensuring that every African enjoys the right to good health.
