He said, “ensuring every child’s survival paves the way for future scientists, paediatricians, carpenters, and even the next president.” “Building resilience in child healthcare requires a joint effort, and we will continue to strengthen partnerships under the SDG3 Global Action Plan.”

Prof. Samuel assured members of the Paediatric Society of Ghana (PSG) that his office is still open for discussions on improving healthcare for children.
This year’s AGSM, which brought together hundreds of stakeholders in child healthcare, centered around the theme “Universal Health Coverage: Bridging Gaps and Building Resilience in Child Healthcare Delivery Across Ghana.” The discussions aimed at enhancing the inclusivity and sustainability of healthcare systems for children.
