Investing in Health, Investing in People: Reimagining Health Financing Across the Commonwealth

About the event

Across the Commonwealth, health systems are coming under growing financial pressure as external assistance becomes less certain, public finances tighten and healthcare costs rise. This session will explore how countries can build more sustainable, equitable and resilient approaches to health financing without transferring disproportionate costs to individuals and communities. Bringing together government, civil society, health and finance experts and development partners, the discussion will examine new approaches to financing, health as an investment in people and economies, and the role of regional cooperation. It will also consider how communities and civil society can help shape priorities and ensure resources reach those who need them most.
