Empowering Communities and People, aligning stakeholders, and creating resilient primary health care - the International Conference on Primary Health Care 2023 in Addis Ababa has been a remarkable journey towards a healthier future.

[The GFF @theGFF]

#ICPHC2023: @DrTedros says no topic more important than #PHC and shared three key ingredients for successful #primaryhealthcare:
1. strong political commitment
2. strong financing, with domestic financing as the backbone
3. careful planning and meticulous implementation of PHC initiatives.

In closing, he urged attendees to . . .
- advocate for strong PHC in their own countries
- prioritize domestic investments for PHC—especially for educating and expanding the #healthcare workforce
- carefully plan and implement health initiatives.
