PMNCH UNGA 78 Advocacy Asks

Overview

At the 78th United Nations General Assembly, world leaders, including young leaders, will discuss the need to accelerate action on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The SDG Summit will be a central UNGA 78 event. It will bring together leaders and communities to reaffirm and make commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at the halfway mark toward 2030.

UNGA 78 will also convene three High-Level Meetings on health. These present a historic opportunity to place health back on the high-level political agenda - to end tuberculosis (TB), deliver universal health coverage (UHC), and ensure pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPPR).

Accelerated action is needed, and the time to act is now. As world leaders meet at UNGA, PMNCH – the world’s largest alliance of more than 1,400 partners for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health (WCAH), calls on leaders to prioritize health and well-being.
