Health Minister Ali Mrabet took part in the first international conference on universal health coverage and family health held in Tehran (Iran) on March 5 and 6, with the participation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and several health ministers and senior officials from 18 countries.
The aim of this international conference is to discuss a range of issues, including health systems in the context of universal health coverage and mechanisms to protect the health of citizens, as well as mother and child health programmes, digitalisation in the health sector and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his speech, Mrabet recalled that the Palestinian people have been deprived of their right to health as a result of the aggressions perpetrated by the Zionist entity against civilians and health professionals and the bombing of hospitals in the Gaza Strip. He described the aggressions as a flagrant violation of international treaties and conventions and the right to health, which is closely linked to human
rights, as advocated by the World Health Organisation.
