WHO, AU Join Forces to Boost Health in Africa

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The World Health Organization and African Union pledged Monday
   to join forces to work toward universal health coverage on the
   continent. The pledge grew out of the "Addis Ababa Call to Action," a
   recent agreement among AU countries to increase domestic investment in
   health.

   At a special signing ceremony, the heads of the World Health
   Organization and African Union Commission committed themselves to
   making significant investments to improve the health of over a billion
   Africans.
