Redesigning Primary Health Care: Building Resilience Amidst Global Uncertainty
Amid rising global challenges, pandemics, climate change, economic disruptions, conflicts, and growing health inequalities, Primary Health Care (PHC) has shifted from being a fundamental pillar to an essential lifeline for health systems. Africa is currently at a crucial turning point. To achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC), PHC must be urgently re-envisioned and strengthened to become more resilient, inclusive, digitally driven, forward-looking, and deeply rooted in communities. The time for delay has passed; bold and decisive action is required.

university. My name is Mwaura Faith Wanjiru, a fourth-year student
pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Practice. My passion
started way back when I was a kid. I could see people dying and I
couldn’t understand. So I decided to do Community Health Practice to try and prevent diseases and promote health to the community.
