On December 11th, ahead of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day 2023, The George Institute hosted a panel discussion titled, Mobilising communities for environmental action and Universal Health Coverage: Building resilient health and environment partnerships, as part of the annual symposium of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Global Health Research Centre (GHRC) for Environmental Change and NCDs. Partners and collaborators gathered in Indonesia one year after its launch at COP27 to engage in dialogue and reflect on progress, including planned activities for 2024 and to participate in a series of capacity strengthening activities.  

Dr Susan Onyango, whose innovative project "The Healthy Woman" was selected in the 3rd cycle of the NCD Lab, was invited to speak about her work with communities to address unequal gender roles, gaps in integrated services in primary health care, unhealthy food systems and limited health literacy in Homa Bay, Kenya.
