As part of efforts to improve the health of the continent’s citizens and reduce maternal, new born and child health, the African Union has partnered with the South African Government in a three day conference in Johannesburg. 

The conference will look at underlying challenges linked to gender inequalities, social exclusion and weak public health systems in Africa.

AU Commission Chairperson Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said they will be doing everything in their effort to make sure that the issue remains on the agenda of the state government.

Dlamini-Zuma added that they will also ensure that they engage with the issues discussed at the conference and get reports from the countries on the progress made.

President Jacob Zuma is also attending the conference.
