SA hosts second G20 Health Working Group meeting in KZN

South Africa will next week host the second meeting of the Group of 20 Health Working Group (G20 HWG).

The meeting is set to kick off on Wednesday, 26 March 2025, at the Capital Zimbali Resort in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal.

The three-day meeting will focus on the theme “Accelerating Health Equity, Solidarity, and Universal Coverage.” 

The event will include several side events that provide a platform for delegates to engage in bilateral and multilateral discussions on various critical issues, including strengthening health systems and promoting equitable access to health services.

Key issues for discussion during the meeting and side events include financial protection for universal health coverage (UHC) and maintaining health financing amid a challenging global economy.

The meeting will also zoom into strengthening investments and advancing UHC, bridging the equity gap to accelerate action to address the burden of non-communicable diseases, and responding to the global health financing emergency. 

The Department of Health has announced that a co-sponsored event focused on the elimination of cervical cancer will take place alongside this meeting. 

Delegates from G20 countries, invited nations, representatives, and international organisations will be in attendance.

The G20 comprises 19 countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom, and the United States and two regional bodies, namely the European Union and the African Union. 

Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi will deliver a keynote address during the opening session on 26 March 2025. 

He will be accompanied by Deputy Health Minister Dr Joe Phaahla, Premier of KwaZulu-Natal Thami Ntuli and KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane. – SAnews.gov.za

  1. This is probably off-topic, BUT here goes: I see that MyZA operates a number of \’sections\’ dealing with News, Directory, Events and a Marketplace and I was wondering just how https://MyZA.co.za manages to keep the content fresh and growing? Do you have an army of employees?
