About Us
HeDPAC is a global health initiative that leverages the valuable lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath aimed at strengthening South-South partnership for health development through like minded multilateralism.
The platform is dedicated to building robust and resilient health systems to accelerate the attainment of Universal Health Coverage and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals with primary focus on Africa and the Caribbean regions.
The economic and health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected the Global South, mainly due to travel restrictions, exclusionary policies and hoarding of medical products and vaccines.
The main aim of HeDPAC is to use innovative and smart solutions through South-South partnership to enhance institutional capacity, self-sufficiency and exchange of best practices within and between the two regions to achieve Universal Health Coverage. HeDPAC’s catalytic role will be aligned with existing national and regional development plans ensuring efficiency, synergy and coherence.
