It will highlight the importance of sustainable approaches to ensure access to essential medicines, aligned with universal health coverage (UHC) and resilient health systems. The session will also examine the role of pharmacy in supporting efficient, patient-centred, and cost-effective care, while addressing disparities in access and strengthening system sustainability in the face of growing healthcare demands.
