UNGA president urges collaborative efforts to revolutionize global health systems

UNITED NATIONS, Sep 22: Dennis Francis, president of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), on Thursday called on the international community to work together to radically transform the health systems.

"Let us work together to radically transform our health systems and create a world where health and well-being is no longer a privilege for the few -- but a respected right for all," the UNGA president, or the PGA, said at the opening of the High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage, one of the major meetings of world leaders being held during the high-level week of the UNGA 78th session.
