Arusha. African countries are set to benefit from improved health financing, stronger governance systems and better use of technology in healthcare following the launch of a new centre aimed at strengthening health systems and accelerating progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

The Eastern and Southern Africa Management Institute (ESAMI) has launched the African Centre of Excellence in Health Economics and Governance (AfriCHEG), which will focus on strengthening health economics, leadership and governance through evidence-based policymaking, applied research, leadership training and modern technology.

Launched in Arusha on Friday, the centre is expected to help governments and institutions across the continent improve health financing systems, strengthen accountability, and integrate technology into healthcare delivery.
