The disparity in access to quality healthcare between rural and urban areas especially in Low and Medium Income Countries (LMIC) is largely due to social determinants of health like economic status, income, education, location amongst other factors. This is basically why underserved communities  consistently struggle to access quality healthcare services largely due to inadequate expertise and lack of quality health equipment and infrastructure. 

According to the World Health Organisation, at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution. However, the reality on ground is that many nations are not implementing legislations to ensure their populations are entitled to access health services. As of 2021, the World Health Organisation revealed that over 4.5billion people globally were not fully covered by essential health services. This has consistently widened the disparities within and between nations when it comes to access to quality healthcare.

In this vein, the year’s theme of the World Health Day; 'My health, my right’, substantially captures the need to address these challenges in a bid to advance the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services.  The 21st episode of Insights Webinar  will dissect issues around impediments to promoting Right to quality healthcare. The webinar will also discuss the role of stakeholders in promoting healthcare rights of underserved communities. 

We look forward to your contributions in what will be another impactful episode of Insights Webinar!

Energy is an essential requirement for improving health and well-being. However energy access in primary healthcare facilities in developing countries continues to lag. Without access to clean, modern energy, it is impossible to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce poverty, broaden education and improve public health. There is an urgent need for reliable data that can be used to inform decisions on creating sustainable access to energy, especially in health facilities in developing countries like Nigeria.

Join us on the Insights webinar to engage with professionals who will share various experiences relevant to stakeholders and industry players in utilizing the data available to address the challenges of lack of access, intermittent, and epileptic power supply in Primary Health Centers (PHCs).
