WHO Director-General addresses conference on universal health coverage

Professor Takemi, distinguished participants and guests, ladies and gentlemen, I thank the Japanese government for hosting this event. Japan is a most appropriate venue. This country has long promoted universal health coverage as part of its strategy for global health diplomacy. The strategy will again receive prominence when Japan hosts next year’s G7 summit and the sixth Tokyo International conference on African development.
