#UHCday: Voices of 7 women leaders on boosting HIV prevention to #endAIDS
Channel: CNS
Date: 12/12/2018

Universal Health Coverage or UHC is critical for health security.Countries require a strong primary health care platform as the backbone of universal health coverage, in absence of which, we are risking losing gains made in fighting AIDS or TB or malaria or other disease control. We cannot afford not to strengthen UHC. In addition to UHC, we also need to scale up research and development of better tools to prevent infections such as HIV. We not only need new HIV prevention tools but we also need more choices especially for those who are at heightened risk of HIV such as girls and women.  On UHC Day 2018, we are sharing voices of 7 women leaders whom CNS Managing Editor Shobha Shukla met at HIV Research for Prevention or HIV R4P International Conference in Madrid, Spain in October 2018:

LISA ROSSI, Director, Communications and External Relations, MTN (Microbicide Trials Network), USA

ANGELA OKETCH, health and science journalist, The Nation, Kenya
