In the framework of the Multi-stakeholder hearing on Universal Health Coverage, Dr. Alessandra Aresu, Co-chair of IDDC Inclusive Health Task Group and Inclusive Health Policy Lead, Humanity & Inclusion (Formerly Handicap International), was mandated by IDDC Inclusive Health TG to deliver a statement.
