Talatona – The Angolan government reiterated, Thursday in Luanda, its commitment to increase the equitable access to primary health care, with the construction of new hospitals and the admission of technicians.
Health Minister, Silvia Lutucuta, who was speaking at the opening of the first Primary Health Care and Immunisation Forum on the theme, “Cuida Angola (Taking care of Angola),” said it was necessary to redouble efforts to make consistent progress towards universal health coverage.
SÃlvia Lutucuta said that immunisation should be used as a platform to reach families and communities, with integrated services, including the control of major endemic diseases, by allocating the necessary human and financial resources to ensure the consolidation of the gains achieved so far.
With the holding of the forum, she said, the intention was to strengthen the mobilisation of communities and civil society, including the private sector and development partners, to work together for the health of Angolans.
The Cabinet minister spoke of the importance and need to guarantee all Angolans the right to a quality and healthy life.
