Togo’s Vision and Commitment to Social Cohesion
The Togolese government has implemented several initiatives in the health sector.
The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve access to quality healthcare for the entire Togolese population, with a particular focus on achieving universal health coverage. This includes: Reducing maternal and child mortality by strengthening primary healthcare, improving health infrastructure and the availability of medicines, strengthening healthcare personnel through training and recruitment under various projects and programs.
By integrating sustainable development principles, Togo strives for universal health coverage and long-term well-being. Its approach focuses on improving healthcare services, modernizing facilities, and expanding health structures to effectively meet the needs of the population.
