Remarks by ATIDI CEO at the 8th Session of the Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Finance, Monetary Affairs, Economic Planning and Integration

Honourable Ministers, Distinguished Delegates, Excellencies,

I am honoured to address you at this critical session on Health Financing. Health is the cornerstone of Africa’s development—driving productivity, resilience, and inclusive growth. Yet financing for health remains fragile, fragmented, and too often impeded by volatility and out-of-pocket burdens. Today, I present a focused, implementable path for strengthening health financing across our continent, anchored in ATIDI’s instruments and collaborative action with AU member states and our wider alliance.
