We want everyone, everywhere to receive the health care services they need without suffering financial hardship. The path to achieving that goal is far from paved. However, in 2021 we have seen – and taken – opportunities to push for the structural changes that we envision. We are proud to present our highlights of 2021! 

The Covid-19 pandemic has strengthened calls for the need for a coherent Dutch Global Health Strategy. Wemos – as one of the founding members of the Dutch Global Health Alliance (DGHA) – is therefore thrilled to see that the Dutch government has included the intention to develop such a Strategy in the new coalition agreement ‘Omzien naar elkaar, vooruitkijken naar de toekomst’. As the Dutch Global Health Alliance, we have a clear position on the topic. Earlier this month, we shared our views in a policy brief that we submitted to the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV).
