A significant share of these deaths occur in both Africa and Europe. Together, let’s develop sustainable solutions to reduce these alarming numbers.

2️⃣ Prevention of Women’s Health Issues

💡 Each year, millions of women are affected by conditions such as cervical cancer or complications related to maternity.

3️⃣ Combating Counterfeit Medicines

These falsified products are responsible for hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths every year. Let’s face this global challenge together through stronger cooperation.
