Microsoft Word - Hong Wang's opening speech.docx Hong Wang’s (BMGF) opening remarks on AfHEA conference, 2016   Your  Excellences,     Distinguished  conference  committee  members,   Respected  colleagues  from  partner  agencies,     Ladies  and  gentlemen     It  is  a  great  pleasure  for  me  to  attend  this  conference. [...]       We  have  observed  that  all  of  African  countries  have  made  great  efforts  towards  the  UHC   development. [...]     • Some  countries  already  developed  UHC  schemes  and  now  are  trying  to  find  ways  to   improve  its  performance  and  make  it  more  sustainable     • Some  countries  are  in  a  transitional  phase  to  transform  and  consolidate  different   financing  mechanisms  into  UHC  scheme. [...]         Nonmatter  how  fast  and  how  slow  these  processes  are,  all  of  the  countries  face  one  same   challenge,  that  is  how  to  use  limited  financial  resources  to  meet  the  growing  needs  for  the   quality  of  healthcare  services,  especially  to  the  poor  and  vulnerable  population. [...]     As  we  all  know,     (1) PHC  is  the  frontline  of  healthcare  system,  a  service  delivery  platform,  that  can  deliver  a   set  of  prioritized,  most  cost- ‐effective  services,  to  achieve  the  health  goal.
