In parallel with the celebration of World Health Day, Tunisia adopted its National Health Policy 2030, at a ceremony on Wednesday April 7, 2021 attended by Health Minister Faouzi Mehdi and Head of Government Hichem Mechichi, among others.
The draft national health policy (PNS) is based on a 2030 vision for universal health coverage. It was developed as part of the second phase of the societal dialogue on national health policies, strategies and plans, following a participatory and inclusive process. Recalling the importance of consolidating citizens’ right to health, the Minister of Health assured us that, in its first phase, this social dialogue had made it possible to build a collective understanding of the major challenges inherent in improving the healthcare system, and to get all players to agree on new directions.
