Women and girls' health is still low on the political and policy agenda in Africa, this results in the alarming health indicators. It is crucial that we protect and promote the health of women and girls on the continent –with a focus on quality, affordability and equity to improve overall health and achieve optimum wellbeing for both current and future generations.
