Distinguished delegates,
Good morning,
· It is my great honour to be here and deliver the opening remarks for the 8th Session of the Specialized Technical Committee on Finance, Monetary Affairs, Economic Planning and Integration. This meeting is very crucial, as we confront a shared challenge under the theme “Bridging Africa’s Health Financing Gap in a Changing Geo-Economic Context: Challenges and Potential Solutions.”

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.

Allow me to commend the AUC for putting health financing at the center of our discussions this week. I would also like to thank the Government of South Africa for their warm hospitality and for the excellent arrangement made for this meeting.
